Lyrics:
Children of God
There are names that are used for description (There are names used for description)
Others use ugly names to offend (Other names are to offend)
Some are called certain things for distinction (Some are called things for distinction)
Special names can be given a friend (Some are given to a friend)
From the heart of our Lord's love and caring (From His love and tender caring)
Comes a blessing that we don't deserve (Comes a name we don't deserve)
It's the honor that we can be wearing (It's an honor to be wearing)
The name of the God whom we serve (Special name of whom we serve)
Chorus:
How great is the love
The Father has lavished on us
That we should be called children of God
How great is the love
The father has lavished on us
That we should be called children of God
You can easily see who is knowing (You can see now who is knowing)
Telling others about Him each day (Telling 'bout Him every day)
There's a love that will set your heart glowing (Love will set your heart a glowing)
When your Father has great things to say (Hearing what He has to say)
It's a love that's unlike any other (Love that's unlike any other)
With a feeling, most healing by far (Feeling, healing, best by far)
Even more that the love of a brother (Even more than of a brother)
Through a name telling all whose we are (Telling all just whose we are)
Repeat Chorus (x2, with echoes)
Scriptural Reference:
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." 1 John 3:1
