YOUR FATHER’S CHILD

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

Strong and wise—captivating eyes

Magnificent being

Spirit bright, emanating light

Now hid from our seeing

You forget who you are

You, who outshone the stars

Amazing smile

You are your Father’s child

 

Son of Man, at the Lord’s right hand

Anointed as Savior

Power and grace, filling endless space

Reduced to a manger

He’d forget who He was

He, who outshone the sun

Yet, all the while

He was His Father’s child

 

Now there were none before or after like Him

He was God with us and is God still

In life and death His love for us defined Him

And to do His Father’s will

And so He came to save

Because you are your Father’s child

 

Here and now, when the fire goes out

And it keeps you from singing

When sad and gray seem to steal away

All joy and all meaning

When you’re broken in two

When your heart says you’re through

Come alive

You’re still your Father’s child

Find that smile

And be your Father’s child
