I Am His Child
Tune: [My heavenly Father is caring for me]
[Verse]
D A D G
My heavenly Father is caring for me,
D E A
My bark He is guiding o’er life’s raging sea;
D A D G
Though storms overshadow, and billows are wild,
D A D
They cannot o’erwhelm me, for I am His child.
[Chorus]
D A D A D
Oh, I am His child, His own loving child,
G D A D
He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.
[Verse]
D A D G
And when in the furnace of trial I stand,
D E A
My Savior beside me doth hold to my hand;
D A D G
“Be faithful,” He whispers in accents so mild;
D A D
The flames cannot harm me, for I am His child.
[Chorus]
D A D A D
Oh, I am His child, His own loving child,
G D A D
He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.
[Verse]
D A D G
When clouds thickly gather and hide from my view
D E A
The face of my Savior, His eye pierces through;
D A D G
He keeps me from being by Satan beguiled;
D A D
Securely I’m resting, for I am His child
[Chorus]
D A D A D
Oh, I am His child, His own loving child,
G D A D
He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.
[Verse]
D A D G
His child evermore, and He’s with me, I know,
D E A
E’en though through the valley of death I should go;
D A D G
He keepeth my spirit by sin undefiled;
D A D
He’ll take me to heaven, for I am His child.
[Chorus]
D A D A D
Oh, I am His child, His own loving child,
G D A D
He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.
