CHILD OF GOD - Forrest Frank

Child of God, ooh

Child of God, ooh

Child of God, ooh

Child of God, ooh

I have dear friends who've adopted children

And they said the hardest part was filling out the questionnaire

Asking you what kind of challenges you're willing to live with

What kind of disabilities, as the world would call them

You're okay with in a child that you're going to adopt

Like are you okay if they can't walk?

If they're paralyzed, if they're in a wheelchair and you've got to push them

Are you okay if they can't eat and they have a feeding tube?

Are you okay if they have some mental disabilities, they're not able to learn?

Or they're lacking cognitive functions

Their brain's not working as a, a normal brain would

Are those things that you're alright with?

And do you think, "Man, if I don't choose that child who will?

If I say I'm not okay with that

Then what's going to happen to that person, that living being?"

And what I love when I'm thinking about God adopting us

Is that He says, "I'll take that one

And I'll take the one that's stuck in pornography like a dog to his vomit

He keeps going back to his sin

I'll take her when she's starving herself

I'll take the one who looks in the mirror and hates what she sees

I'll take the person who sits with the razor blade, cutting their arm

I'll take the one who constantly thinks of himself

Walks into a room and wonders what everyone is saying about them or thinking about them

They're enslaved to their insecurity"

And the list goes on and on and on and on

There's no disqualifying disability that the Lord turns away

There's no one that God says, "Oh, they're too far gone, I can't save them

Jesus' blood is not enough," that he didn't die for them

Anyone who would trust in the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ

For the forgiveness of sins can be adopted as God's children

We can be his kids, not his slaves

Not his workers, not people who are trying to earn our allowance

Not someone who's trying to earn a wage

But women and men

Who have been adopted by the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth

To be His children to call Him Abba Father

Ooh, child of God

Ooh, oh

Ooh, child of God

Ooh, oh
