63. Begotten of God

O I am a son,
Begotten of God
With wisdom and faith,
With understanding shod.
I live in His kingdom
For I am His son;
I show forth His goodness
For He and I are one.

2 I praise and give thanks
For all that is mine.
I show forth God's love;
I let my Christ-light shine!
Each day in His kingdom
Is filled with His peace.
His manifold blessings
And goodness never cease!

3 O this is the day
The Father hath made.
I sing and rejoice
For good is not delayed.
I am in the kingdom
Of heaven right here.
Each person's my brother
And all of life so dear!
