Lyrics:
One question always asked of me
Everybody's wondering what I think I'll be
My parents seem to know how my heart's inclined
But I think I'm having problems making up my mind
Everybody's wondering what I think I'll be
My parents seem to know how my heart's inclined
But I think I'm having problems making up my mind
I've taken several tests for personality
But they never have revealed my tendancies
I can't say exactly where my path will lead
You see there's only one thing I really wanna be
But they never have revealed my tendancies
I can't say exactly where my path will lead
You see there's only one thing I really wanna be
Chorus 1:
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My Father keeps me safe in His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God
I might get older in years, I may be graying and wise
But I'll still be a kid in my Father's eyes
In His eyes
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My Father keeps me safe in His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God
I might get older in years, I may be graying and wise
But I'll still be a kid in my Father's eyes
In His eyes
I may just make it on a who's who list
Or maybe end up as a scientist
There's lots of neat things that I could invent
Or even grow up to be the president
Or maybe end up as a scientist
There's lots of neat things that I could invent
Or even grow up to be the president
Lots of people say I should be this or that
But my Father's gonna love me right where I'm at (right where I'm at)
I'll never need to worry 'bout the path I trod
Because I know that I will always be a child of my God
But my Father's gonna love me right where I'm at (right where I'm at)
I'll never need to worry 'bout the path I trod
Because I know that I will always be a child of my God
Chorus 2:
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God (you know whatever I do)
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My Father keeps me safe in His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God (I'm His kid)
I might get older in years, I may be graying and wise
But I'll still be a kid in my Father's eyes
In His eyes (in His eyes, in His eyes), my Father's loving eyes
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God (you know whatever I do)
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My Father keeps me safe in His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God (I'm His kid)
I might get older in years, I may be graying and wise
But I'll still be a kid in my Father's eyes
In His eyes (in His eyes, in His eyes), my Father's loving eyes
Bridge:
I think I know why my daddy loves His children's ways
I heard that Jesus was a kid in His early days
I think I know why my daddy loves His children's ways
I heard that Jesus was a kid in His early days
Repeat Chorus 2
