His Child

Not orphaned in the cosmos, cold, alone, A nameless soul on paths by chance I’ve known. Not defined by my failure or my shame, Or the fleeting echo of my earthly name.

A higher truth has settled, sure and deep, A truth the watching angels strain to keep. A word is spoken over all my days, That silences the lie and stops the fray.

I am the child of God.

The Spirit whispers what my heart has heard, And seals it with the power of His Word. Heir to the promise,daughter, son—by grace, A member of a chosen,royal race.

The Maker of the unmeasured, starry space, Calls me His own,and smiles upon my face. His heart is my inheritance and home, No more through distant fields to roam.

So let the world may shout what it will say, This is the truth I’ll hold to every day. When I am weak,and when I stand in might, In deepest dark,and in the clearest light.

This is my name. My title. My great worth, Assigned before my crying on this earth. Redeemed,beloved, called, and made brand new— I am the child of God. And so are you.

Amen.
