I am a child of god A most precious child of god Fatherless I am not I am a child of god Some might look at me and say That I need to change my ways But he made me perfectly And my Lord loves me Because I am a child of god A most precious child of god Fatherless I am not I am a child of god God made me out of his love He knew me before I was He keeps me right in his hand He knows what I am Because I am a child of god A most precious child of god Fatherless I am not I am a child of god I may fall in times of trial I may wander for a while But he waits so patiently He does not leave me Because I am a child of god A most precious child of god Fatherless I am not I am a child of god I am a child of god
