Gaither Vocal Band's 'Child Of The King' is a gospel song celebrating the believer's adoption into God's family. The lyrics contrast a past of sin and wretchedness with the present reality of being a child of the King, emphasizing salvation through Christ's blood and love. The song expresses gratitude and joy, looking forward to a heavenly home and singing with angels. It draws on the biblical theme of spiritual adoption, as seen in passages like Romans 8:15-17, without directly quoting them. The live performance at Gaither Studios captures the group's signature harmonies and uplifting message.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin,

Wretched and poor, lost and lonely within.

But with wondrous compassion, the King of all kings,

In pity and love, took me under His wings.


Oh, yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King

His royal blood now flows in my veins.

And I who was wretched and poor now can sing

Praise God, praise God, I'm a child of the King.


Now I'm a child with a Heavenly home,

My Holy Father well he's made me His own.

And I'm washed by His blood, and I'm clothed in His love,

And some day I'll sing with the angels above.


Oh, yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King

His royal blood now flows in my veins.

And I who was wretched and poor now can sing

Praise God, praise God, I'm a child of the King.
