CHILD OF GOD Feat. Jonathan Pokluda Lyrics By Forrest Frank
Intro
Child of God, child of God,
Child of God, child of God.
Verse 1
I have dear friends who’ve adopted children,
They said the hardest part was filling out the questionnaire.
Asking what kind of challenges you’re willing to live with,
What kind of disabilities, as the world would call them,
You’re okay with in a child that you’re going to adopt.
Verse 2
Are you okay if they can’t walk, if they’re paralyzed,
If they’re in a wheelchair and you’ve got to push them?
Are you okay if they can’t eat and they have a feeding tube?
Are you okay if they have some mental disabilities,
Not able to learn, lacking cognitive functions?
Verse 3
Their brain’s not working like a normal brain would,
Are those things that you’re alright with?
And you think, man, if I don’t choose that child, who will?
If I say I’m not okay with that, what will happen to that living being?
Chorus
And what I love, when I’m thinking about God adopting us,
Is that He says, “I’ll take that one.”
I’ll take the one stuck in pornography,
Like a dog to his vomit, keeps going back to his sin.
I’ll take her when she’s starving herself,
I’ll take the one who hates what she sees in the mirror.
Verse 4
I’ll take the person with the razor blade cutting their arm,
I’ll take the one who constantly thinks of themselves,
Walks into a room, wondering what everybody is saying.
They’re enslaved to their insecurity, and the list goes on and on.
Chorus
There’s no disqualifying disability that the Lord turns away,
No one that God says, “Oh, they’re too far gone.”
Jesus’s blood is enough; He didn’t die for them.
Anyone who trusts in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
For the forgiveness of sins can be adopted as God’s children.
Outro
We can be His kids, not as slaves, not as workers,
Not people trying to earn our allowance or wage,
But men and women adopted by the Creator of the heavens and the Earth,
To be His children, to call Him Abba Father.
Outro Music
Sh, sh.
