Child of the King

lyrics

Worthless I’m losing my sanity
Tied up by the noose of my misery
Beaten down, down until I descend
Into madness, I am manic
How will I see the end when I’m
Born a failure, regarded as obscene
A canvas painted with nothing but slurs and mockery
This world celebrates my inadequacies
This is my reality, perceived unsightly, the highest degree of toxicity
Nothing more than a thing
Betrayed by those who were closest to me
Pledges that lulled me into complacency
Looked at with contempt by society
Cast out like a plague to humanity
Recognized as the lowest of the low
Even so you showed me I’m worth saving
Even so there you stood by showing me I’m worth saving
I call out your name cause you’ve been there for me
You’ve protected me in all, in all the things I do
So I walk this world no longer afraid
You would not stand by and let, let a child of yours die
You fulfilled every promise that you’ve proclaimed
You are my salvation I concede to your ways
I have given all of myself to you because you’ve never failed me

Betrayed by those closest to me
Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security
Yet you lent out your hand just to show me
That you’ve stood by me, I’m worth saving

And though I walk through the darkest valley
Whose shadow falls all around me
I hear your voice
As it whispers in my ear
I will not fear now
Your words are a lamp unto my feet
Guiding me down a straight and narrow path
While the wind and waves will try their best
I’m standing on a firm foundation

Betrayed by those closest to me
Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security
Yet you lent out your hand just to show me
That you’ve stood by me, I’m worth saving

Remembrance of these faded scars
Betrayal that robbed me, robbed me of my dignity
The echoes of humiliating laughter that haunts me in my dreams
You washed it all away and changed my entire being
Lies of stability wash away the sorrow from me
I’m crying out dear God
Lies of misery tearing at my very bones
I need your guidance
But then you reach out your hand
So you can show me that there’s a way to be free
From all the pain and anguish
There’s a way out
You are the way out

Betrayed by those closest to me
Pledges that lulled me into a sense of security
Yet you lent out your hand just to show me
That you’ve stood by me, I’m worth saving
My life’s a testament to who you are
So when I’m asked who am I
I will only give one answer
I’m a child of The Almighty King!
