Crowder's song 'Child of God' is an upbeat declaration of identity and freedom in Christ. The lyrics contrast earthly origins with a heavenly home, celebrating that believers are born of God's breath and filled with the Holy Spirit. The song references the resurrection, stating that just as the tomb couldn't hold Jesus, believers are born again and destined for eternal life. With a joyful, danceable rhythm, it expresses confidence that the devil has no hold and that God's children are secure in their salvation. The repeated affirmation 'I am a child of God' reinforces the theme of spiritual belonging and hope in Christ's return.

This dirt I came from
This dirt I came from
This dirt I came from
It's my dirt, but it ain't my home
This dirt ain't my home
This dirt, no it ain't my home
This dirt ain't my home
From the breath of God, I was born
Clap them hands, stomp them feet
Devil ain't got no hold on me
Dance all day, dance all night
Good God, I'm on fire
I may be flesh and bone
But in my haunted soul
I got the Holy Ghost
I know where I came from
Can't keep me from my home
I am a child of God
This dirt couldn't hold Him in
This dirt couldn't hold Him in
This dirt couldn't hold Him in
He's resurrected, I'm born again
This dirt, gone someday
This dirt, gone someday
This dirt, gone someday
He's coming again and we're flying away
Clap them hands, stomp them feet
Devil ain't got no hold on me
Dance all day, dance all night
Oh my good God, I'm on fire
Clap them hands, stomp them feet
Devil ain't got no hold on me
Shouting all day, shouting all night
Oh my Lord, now I'm on fire
I may be flesh and bone
But in my haunted soul
I got the Holy Ghost
I know where I came from
Can't keep me from my home
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
