A CHILD OF THE KING

I’M A CHILD OF THE KING

I am a very wealthy person.

My father has all that I could ever need or want

and He wrote me a letter and

told me that if I ever need anything

to just ask Him and He will provide it for me

He did say that this offer was only

available so long as I am an obedient child.

I was born into the family and He has

always been there for me

helping me to grow into a child that

He would be proud of.

He is the light of my life and

I would never ask anything of Him

that would not please Him or that

would be a waste of money,

because even though He is rich,

He wants His money used wisely.

I believe what He said and I will give Him

my requests and let Him sort out

what He thinks I need.

After all, He is building me a mansion

for when I move home and

I don’t want to interfere with that.

A Child of the King

Harriet E. Buell, 1877

My Father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full, He has riches untold.

Refrain:
I’m a child of the King,
A child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior,
I’m a child of the King.

My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading our pardon on high,
That we may be His, when He comes by and by.

I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.

A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They’re building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:
All glory to God, I’m a child of the King.



For every beast of the forest is mine, 
and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 
Psalm 50:10



  O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 
Romans 11:33

Father's Day

  The just man walketh in his integrity: 

his children are blessed after him.

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day!

Cards for Word Art Wednesday

I made two cards to post on Word Art Wednesday and I thought I would share with you.

Thanks for visiting.

Have a wonderful weekend.

How Firm A Foundation

For other foundation can no man lay

than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:11 

The words to this song have been 

such a blessing to me over the years.

The author of “How Firm a Foundation” is unknown.  

Various hymnals credit it to different authors, 

but history remains unclear on exactly who wrote it. 

How Firm A Foundation

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!

What more can He say than to you He hath said,

You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

In every condition, in sickness, in health;

In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;

At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,

As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.

Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;

I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand

Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through the deep waters I call thee to go,

The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;

For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,

And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;

The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design

Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

Even down to old age all My people shall prove

My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;

And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,

Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.

How reassuring to know, that if we have made

 Jesus the foundation of our life,

we can depend on Him to keep and protect us.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,

I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

And the rain descended, and the floods came,

and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:

for it was founded upon a rock.

Matthew 7:24-25

Notice, the song doesn’t say “if”

you go through

deep water and fiery trials,

but “when” and

His grace is sufficient for

whatever we face.

Especially dear to me are the lines,

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God…”

And

“That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”

It is so sweet to be able to trust Him!

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses:

but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

Psalm 20:7 

I am including a couple cards I made this week.
