CHILD OF GOD

歌詞

Child of God, ooh Child of God, ooh Child of God, ooh Child of God, ooh I have dear friends who've adopted children And they said the hardest part was filling out the questionnaire Asking you 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 Like are you okay if they can't walk If they're paralysed, 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 they're not able to learn Or they're lacking cognitive functions Their brain's not working as 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 Then what's going to happen to that person That living being? What I love when I'm thinking about God adopting us Is that he says, "I'll take that and I'll take the one" That's stuck in pornography like a dog to his vomit He keeps going back to his sin I'll take her when she's starving herself I'll take the one who looks in the mirror and hates what she sees I'll take the person who sits with the razor blade cutting their arm I'll take the one who constantly thinks of themselves Walks into a room and wonders what everybody is saying about them or thinking about them Their enslaved to their insecurity And the list goes on and on and on and on There's no disqualifying disability that the Lord turns away There's no one that God says, "Oh. They're too far gone. I can't save them." Jesus' blood is not enough, he didn't die for them Anyone who would trust in the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin can be adopted as God's children We can be his kids, not his slaves Not his workers, not people who are trying to earn our allowance Not someone who's trying to earn a wage But women and men who have been adopted by the creator of the heavens and the earth To be his children who call his Abba father
