Lyrics

I am a child of God
(Child of God, child of God, child of God)
God's own holy child
By wandering on
(By wandering on)
My life's soul journey
(Wandering)
I have overcome
(Overcome, overcome)
Many a strong temptation
I raise my voice
(I raise my voice)
To heaven high
And I pray
(Oh, yes I pray)
Oh, in my darkest hour
(Darkest hour, darkest hour)
Wandering in fiery realms
Bound in chains
(Oh, bound in chains)
Oh, the dark night of my soul
(Of my soul)
The vision of my Lord is pure
(Oh, my Lord. Oh, my Lord)
He washed away my sin
In my heart I know
That I am God's own child
(God's own child)
The light of heaven shines
(Heaven shines, Heaven shines)
On all creation
I see all things appearing
(All things, all things)
Sacred and pure
(Everything)
So I raise my voice
(Praise His name, praise His name)
To praise His holy name
For I know I am God's own child
(Oh, yes I am)
While upon this Earth I trod
(Earth I trod, Earth I trod)
And my cross I bear
A crown of thorns I wear
(A crown of thorns)
Nailed to the tree
(Oh, (starry)? crown)
Oh, the tree of life
(Tree of Life, Tree of Life)
My Father's kingdom come
And though Man may mock me
I know that I am God's own Holy Child
(I'm God's own child)
