Child of God

Dear God, thank you for leadin' me down this path
I'm thankful for the man that I am
At first, I didn't understand
Now I see the tribulations that I faced, we're all part of the plan

I tried to walk way, I wasn't whole
You filled the gap inside heart, and let me know I had a soul
I was bleedin' on the inside, nobody could see
Then I looked into the mirror, he was starin' back at me (LexNour)

Now I gotta say, I was lost, where'd I go? Now I'm here, glory road (glory road)
Child a God, not a sheep, lost my way, came on home (came home)
Used to think the world was cold, and I was fightin' all alone
Until I made that call and heard his voice, and touch right through that phone

All my pain, all my stress (all my stress) added to the dumb neglect (neglect)
I used to take my burdens and disperse 'em 'round to all my friends
Anger and frustration was means, but never to and end
Until you picked me up and took that weight right up off my chest

A child a God (child a God), nothin' more, nothin' less
Born sinner, not by choice, but also born blessed (amen)
I could fell the pressure buildin' up and chokin' at my neck
Then God told me, "Take a breath", and he would handle all the rest, yeah

I'm not a stranger to evil, I've done wrong to people (I have)
I've told lies, but in his eyes I am still equal
My words weaponize, bars save lives they lethal
And take off in the sky spread wings like eagles

My life's an open book, somethin' for the world to see
People watchin' what I do, so I'm careful of words I speak
Came up as a child, I never thought that this was what I'd be (I never knew)
But now that it's my path, I swear to God that I won't fail to lead (I swear to God)

Speakin' positivity with every single breath I breathe
Lookin' up to God, I'm on my hands and down on my knees
Askin' him to grant me with the strength in this world agreed
To be the person that will have a shoulder when they need to lean

Promises I made to you, God yes I will keep
May not be who they want, but I'm makin' what they need
Rose from the dirt in the middle of the concrete
And bloomed to a tree to create, and disperse seeds

Impact is what I bleed, won't fall for anythin'
I answer to God, I don't answer to no human bein' (nah)
I am not a slave, I am not the devil nor a fiend
I'm a child a God just like you, we on the same team (same team)

Grab my hand, stand up, I won't leave you (stand up)
You need me just as much as I need you
Fight these battles with me, I promise that you will see through
And stand tall over things beneath you

Child of God he is I, and you are him (you are him)
To see God, we must first look within
Nowhere else, no place, no human, no race
Just us, and faith, 'til we meet again, it's Dax

We were all created in God's image
Each and every single one of us
Spread love, receive love
Have faith, amen
