      D
1. My Father is rich in houses and lands,
2. My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men,
3. I  once was an outcast, a stranger on earth,
4. A  tent or a cottage, O why should I care?
        A                         A7           D
He      holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Once    wandered on earth as the  poorest of   them;
A       sinner by choice, and an  alien by     birth,
They’re building a palace for     me over      there;
                             G              Em
Of rubies and diamonds, of   silver and     gold,
But now He is pleading for   sinners on     high,
But I’ve been adopted, my    name’s written down,
Though exiled from home, yet still I may    sing:
         D           Bm            A7           D
His      coffers are full– He has riches     untold.
And will give me a   home when He  comes by and by.
An       heir to a   mansion, a    robe and a   crown.
“All     glory to    God, I’m a    child of the King.”
          D
    I’m a child of the King,
      D
    A child of the King!
         G      Em Bm
    With Jesus, my Savior,
    G     A            D
    I’m a child of the King!
