Child of God, the godly child in me
Extends the warmest greetings unto you,
But, though it seems you’ve hardly come to be,
You’ve been around as long as I have, too.
As someone who the sun has fondly kissed,
You’re every bit a treasure vast and dear.
You’re like an item standing on God’s list,
The other half of heaven’s perfect sphere.
I see the light that’s shining in your eyes
As does one star another all through space.
That’s why it shouldn’t come as a surprise
I’m overjoyed to look you in the face.
And, even if you drench yourself in sin,
That can’t affect the child you’ve always been.
