I am wanting to use the song "A Child of the King" (Oh, yes, oh, yes, I'm a child of the King) in our worship service, but am having trouble finding out even who wrote it. We are sticklers for being legal beagles, and CCLI doesn't have it. If I could find out how, I would try to get permission to use it. Can you help?

Hi Harry,

You're in luck. The Lyrics and a MIDI files are posted on this site:

Here are the full lyrics:

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
His royal blood now flows in my veins.
And I who was wretched and poor 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.
And I'm cleansed by His blood, and I'm clothed in His love,
And some day I'll sing with the angels above.

Chorus

God bless!
Steve
