Cântăre I Am His Child

1. My heavenly Father is caring for me,

My bark He is guiding o’er life’s raging sea;

Though storms overshadow, and billows are wild,

They cannot o’erwhelm me, for I am His child.



R: Oh, I am His child, His own loving child,

He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.



2. And when in the furnace of trial I stand,

My Savior beside me doth hold to my hand;

"Be faithful," He whispers in accents so mild;

The flames cannot harm me, for I am His child.



3. When clouds thickly gather and hide from my view

The face of my Savior, His eye pierces through;

He keeps me from being by Satan beguiled;

Securely I’m resting, for I am His child.



4. His child evermore, and He’s with me, I know,

E’en though through the valley of death I should go;

He keepeth my spirit by sin undefiled;

He’ll take me to heaven, for I am His child.
