Kingdom Child
By Vic and Eva Zarley 2nd Fret
F     G
C                              Am
Once I was one of this world's children

At a park one afternoon, I began to scat the music as I picked the chords to this song and Eva jumped right in with words. We didn't have a tape recorder with us so we knew we needed to record this when we got home. Late that night one of us said to the other, "Didn't we write a song today?" We scrambled for the recorder and after a time, when the fog of the day drifted away, we had preserved Kingdom Child. The atheists only look at appearances and therefore miss the truth which can only be known by faith. I pray that all will choose to become Kingdom Children.

F           G              C    G
I didn't have any care
C                              Am
Who God was, what he might want of me
F            G              C
or if He's even there.
F            G                  C            Am
Drifting along in this life of appearances
F              G         C
I only thought of me
F              G           C              Am
But one day, my eyes were opened.
F                         G
Then---- I could see.

Once I lived in anger and selfishness
It seems I hurt endlessly
In these days I didn’t know Jesus
Would gladly set me free
I was so caught up in all kinds of judgments
Of every one I knew
Until I met, the Lord, Creator
Of Love------- so true
(Instrumental Bridge)

Now I am a child of the kingdom
Joy and peace fill my soul
God has renewed my mind and heart and
made me completely whole
Following Christ is all that I want to do
He alone gives me life
His word releases every bondage
End------ing all strife

Trust your soul to the Lord Christ Jesus
He'll turn your troubles around
In His love, there's rest and safety------
He never will let you down---------------
