I
ONCE I WAS CLOTHED IN THE RAGS OF MY SINS
I WAS WRETCHED AND POOR
LOST AND LONELY WITHIN
BUT WITH WONDROUS COMPASSION THE KING OF ALL KINGS
IN PITY AND LOVE HE TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING
CHORUS
OH YES OH YES I'M A CHILD OF THE KING
HIS ROYAL BLOOD NOW FLOWS THRU MY VEINS
AND I WHO WAS WRETCHED AND POOR NOW CAN SAY
PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD I'M A CHILD OF THE KING
II
NOW I'M A CHILD WITH A HEAVENLY HOME
MY HOLY FATHER HE HAS MADE ME HIS OWN
AND I WAS CLEANSED BY HIS BLOOD
AND I'M CLOTHED IN HIS LOVE
AND SOMEDAY I WILL WALK WITH THE ANGELS ABOVE
