John 1
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the blessings we have, because of the gift from God we received through Jesus Christ. Jesus has given us salvation by His death and resurrection. Because of Christ we are the Children of God. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God. For this reason Jesus Christ deserves the glory, the honor, and the praise.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) read the scripture from John 1:1-16. Let the song end.
3. When the sound file restarts, sing verses 1-3.
4. Prayer, Meditation, and reflection
A Child of the King
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. (Refrain)
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. (Refrain)
