I belong to the King

I belong to the King;
I'm a child of His love.
I shall dwell in His palace so fair,

For He tells of its bliss
in yon heaven above,
And His children in splendor to share.

I belong to the King;
I'm a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me someday
to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.

I belong to the King,
and  He loves me I know,
For His mercy and kindness so free

Are unceasingly mine wheresoever I go,
and my Refuge unfailing is He.

I belong to the King;
I'm a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me someday
to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.

I belong to the King,
and HIs promise is sure-
that we all shall be gathered at last
 
In His kingdom above,
by life's waters so pure,
when this life with its trials is past.
 
I belong to the King;
I'm a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own.
He will call me someday
to His palace above;
I shall dwell by His glorified throne.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 1John 3:1
