Written by Cindy Walker, this gospel song “Child of the King” is a powerful declaration of every follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in John 1: 12-14: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” Gaither sang it beautifully. Be blessed.
“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Child of the King Lyrics
Song by Gaither Vocal Band
Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin
Wretched and poor
Lost and lonely within
But with wondrous compassion
The King of all kings
In pity and love
Took me under his wings
Oh yes, oh yes
I’m a child of the King
His royal blood
Now flows in my veins
And I, who was wretched and poor, now can sing
Praise God, Praise God
I’m a child of the King
Now I’m a child
With a heavenly home
My holy father
Well, He make me his own
And I am washed by his blood
And I’m clothed in his love
And someday I’ll sing
With the angels above
Oh yes, oh yes
I’m a child of the King
His royal blood
Now flows in my veins
And I, who was wretched and poor, now can sing
Praise God, Praise God
I’m a child of the King
Praise God, Praise God
I’m a child of the King
