A Child of God

I am a child of God more than I know,
since He's Our Father, He's my Father too,
when He created me eons ago,
my soul and body He most carefully drew.

Out of His love He then adopted me,
to name me clearly as His son and heir,
to share His love for an eternity,
stamped by His image I would always wear.

He's lavished gifts on me just like a son,
my name, my feelings, yes, my very breath,
then guaranteed that my salvation's won
by sending His own Son unto His death.

You made me free to choose to be Your child,
O God, I pray You keep us reconciled.
