Adopted
by Jennifer Godkin

I was adopted when I was a baby
When I was just a few days old
I was special to my mom and dad
Cause I was chosen, so I'm told
I wasn't a surprise to them
They wanted me, and took me in
To love me as their own flesh and blood
To accept me as their kin
A legal contract that was binding
Was written, sealed, and approved
That said that I was their child
And I could never be removed
When I think about my adoption
I liken it to God's love for me
He knew me in my mother's womb
And He predestined me, you see
When I was a baby, I was an orphan
And the Bible is very clear
Jesus is the Father to the fatherless
And I know He held me near
Then He placed me in an earthly home
A family He had chosen for me
Knowing someday I'd chose Him too
As He had chosen me to be
To be His child, through salvation
Forgiven, sealed, and approved
Accepted into His family
And I can never be removed.
I find it such an awesome thing,
Just say it, and think of His great love
God Almighty chose us to live with Him
In heaven up above...
So next time when you say it
That you're God's child, a part of God's family
Remember, that adoption is a really awesome thing
Because it's God Almighty, the Creator
That did the choosing, He's chosen you and me!
