I checked CCLI, and they license 26 different songs titled: "A Child Of The King". The posting by 'Guest" at 5:51 on 26 Jul 2011 refers to the song I learned in the 1960's:
A CHILD OF THE KING
As Sang by Jessie Enloe
1. Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin,
Wretched and poor, lost and lonely within;
But with wondrous compassion the King of all kings,
In pity and love, took me under his wings.
Chorus
Oh, yes, oh, yes; I'm a child of the King,
[a child of the King,]
His royal blood now flows in my veins;
And I, who was wretched and vile now can sing,
Praise God, Praise God, I'm a child of the King.
2. Now I'm a child with a heavenly home,
My Holy Father has made me his own;
Now I'm washed in His blood and I'm clothed with His love,
Someday I will sing with the angels above.

I haven't heard the version the first Guest was looking for.
