The Daughter of My King
"'The Daughter of My King' expresses the truth that we as women are daughters of God, created in His image, to accomplish many good things. As we strive to give away our sins, let go of pride, and seek to become like Christ, we can be filled with His love and peace. "The King's daughter is all glorious within..." (Psalms 45:13). "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together" (Romans 8:16-17).
Verse one
When I consider who I am,
The daughter of a king;
Created in His image,
To accomplish holy things;
When I consider all the grace
And wonder I survey
I stand in awe at the love of God
That surrounds me ev'ry day
And I long to know His ways.
Chorus one (use)
I (would) [will] give away all my sins to know God;
I (would) [will] sanctify each moment of my life;
I (would) [will] strip away the pride that I hide inside
To know His peace, sure and sweet.
I (would) [will] break the chains of guilt and fear
That fetter me and hold me here.
Verse two
When I've forgotten who I am,
The covenants I've made,
And cannot see the purpose
In the heartache that I face;
When I've forgotten that the worth
Of ev'ry soul is great;
That Christ paid the price with His sacrifice
To take my pain away,
Still God remembers, and He waits
Chorus two
For me to give away my sins and know Him;
To sanctify that moment of my life;
To strip away the pride that I hide inside
And choose His peace, sure and sweet.
To break the chains of guilt and fear
That fetter me and hold me here.
Repeat Chorus one [use]
Tag
Because I want to be in ev'ry way, in ev'rything
The daughter of my King.
