Child Of The King

It’s time to face another day,
Temptation standing in my way
With sin and doubt at every turn
You’d think by now I’d finally learn
To turn away and pass on by
From temptation of the night
Now all that’s left to do is pray
And when it comes to turn and say

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King

How they laughed and how they grinned
When I told them I’d been born again
The didn’t want to see their sin
And tried to drag me down with them
“Have a drink” “No, have a light”
“One more look” “One more bite”
“Take what you want” “Take what you like”
“Everything will be all right”

But I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King

He came done once, He’ll come again
And all the world may tremble when
His majesty lights up the sky
But I for one, will gladly cry

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for this world
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the Lord

I’m not a child of the night
I wasn’t made for such things
Into the darkness I’ll cry
I am a child of the King
