forrest frank & jonathan pokluda - child of god lyrics

[intro]
child of god, ooh
child of god, ooh
child of god, ooh
child of god, ooh

[interlude]
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 paralyzed, 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 disabilitiеs, they’re not able to lеarn?
or they’re lacking cognitive functions
their brain’s not working as a, a normal brain would
are those things that you’re alright with?
and do 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?”
and what i love when i’m thinking about god adopting us
is that he says, “i’ll take that one
and i’ll take the one that’s stuck in p+rnography 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 himself
walks into a room and wonders what everyone is saying about them or thinking about them
they’re 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,” that he didn’t die for them
anyone who would trust in the death and the resurrection of jesus christ
for the forgiveness of sins 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 to call him abba father
[outro]
ooh, child of god
ooh, oh
ooh, child of god
ooh, oh
