Daughter

I Am
I Am the daughter
I Am the daughter of the King…
I don’t walk in pride or arrogance
I learned to walk with confidence and humility
He’s given me the ability
To stand in the face of fear and laugh
Knowing I am an heir, I am no longer a slave…
I am bold and brave…
Knowing there is nothing impossible with my Papa God…
For it’s not in my strength, nor in my might
I live knowing it’s His Spirit, living, guiding, leading and teaching me
How to love, how to hope, how to rest in His embrace
Childlike, with arms flapping in the wind, as I run and jump and dance
Kicking up my heels and daring to take a chance…
It’s faith that pleases Him…
He smiles and winks, sings and blinks…
As I sparkle and shine just for him…
My spirit set free of all encumbrances, all inhibitions
Joy indescribable joy…
Surrendered to Him only…
I walk among the broken, the lost and the hurting
I sit among the discarded ones, those, others despise…
I sing the song of love and peace so that they realize…
The daughter of the King is not above them, or, below them
She meets them as they are…
For the King has poured into her heart, His love, His amazing grace
So that whatever they face, they’ll know
The King is not a tyrant…He is love and wants them to grow
To bless and not to curse…to give life and not death
And with each breath…
To worship and bless His holy name…
So that, they too, can become His sons and daughters…
I am the daughter of the King…and that means…
I am forever redeemed…
You are a daughter of the King
And when you give Him your heart, He becomes everything
He’ll take your rags and give you a beautiful white gown
Place upon your head, a shining crown
He’ll bottle your tears and chase away the fear
Because darl’n, you’re now in the presence of the King
He’ll even place upon your finger His signet ring…
All you have to do is bring…
Your heart as an offering…
And now you are a daughter of the King!
Listen, hear those cheers?
There’s a banquet being held in your honor
Adoption complete
Daughter come meet…
Your Papa the King!
