Lyrics CHILD OF GOD - Forrest Frank feat. Jonathan Pokluda

Child of God

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 disabilities
They're not able to learn or they lack in cognitive functions
Their brains not working as a normal brain would?
Are those things that you're alright with?
And 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?
What I love when I'm thinking about God adopting us is that He says
I'll take that one, I'll take the one that's stuck in pornography
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, who constantly thinks of themselves
Walks into a room and wonders
What everybody 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"
