Child of God

This is not the way I dreamed

My story would unfold

A stable and a bed of hay

A night so clear and cold

The only child of God begotten

In my arms I hold

To us is born Emmanuel

Holy child of hope

Perfect child of peace

Born to be the Lord of life in me

Oh my precious son

Heaven's child has come

To make of me a child of God

I am just a peasant girl of simple honest means

Who am I to hold the Savior

Sent to set men free

To know the child that I gave life

Will give his life for me

The angels sing Emmanuel

Holy child of hope

Perfect child of peace

Born to be the Lord of life in me

Oh my precious son

Heaven's child has come

To make of me a child of God

Oh my precious son

Heaven's child has come

To make of me a child of God

To make of me a child of God
