This is why I give Him praise.
3
The Shepherd divine is my guide in life,
I feel so secure now, He tells me that soon I will be with Him;
In the new city, Jerusalem,
Oh, how good is the Lord! This is why I give Him praise.
365. MY FATHER IS RICH
...................... "rJ/pJfiiiiEB"iiN iitv·

My father is rich, far beyond compare.
He holds all the riches of the world in his hands
His rubies and diamonds, His silver and gold
All His countless treasures, have never been told.
CHOURS
//I'm a child of my King
The child of my King
With Christ as my Savior
I'm the child of my King//
2
My Father's True son, the Savior of men
He wandered on this Earth a life of great need,
Now he reigns in glory surrounded by praise,
His home near the Father, He offers all men.
3
I wandered this Earth, no home of my own,
Most vile and guilty, and strange to God's faith;
But now I'm adopted, by Jesus' decree,
As heir to a mansion, a robe, and a crown.
4
Though homeless and strange, my home is not here,
My home is in heaven, beyond the sun's gleam;
So while I am waiting, assured as I sing
All Glory to God, I'm the child of my King.
