Openmic week 75 original song "Children of God"

We’re Called Children Of God!

1 John 3: (selected) What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.
But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own.

As we are fast approaching Easter, I want to share a few songs that will lead us up to it. This song is based on the first chapter of the Gospel of John, in which John goes back to the beginning...a good place to start!

Children of God

In the beginning, the Word was God.
The word became flesh and dwelt among us.
All things were made by Him alone.
Nothing was made without His Word.

He is light, He is life.
He gives power to everyone,
To become the children of God

Children of God, born not of blood,
Nor will of man, only of God.
His light shines, in the darkness,
Darkness shall not overcome it.

He is light, He is life
He gives power to everyone
To become the children of God.

Eternal Word, formed in my heart
Promise of joy, of death into life.
His Spirit our power, children of God....
The Father the Son, the spirit are One.

He is light, He is life
He gives power to everyone,
To become the children of God.
To become the children of God.
To become the children of God.,
