I Am His Child

D A D G My heavenly Father is caring for me, D E A My bark He is guiding o’er life’s raging sea; D A D G Though storms overshadow, and billows are wild, D A D They cannot o’erwhelm me, for I am His child. D A D A D Oh, I am His child, His own loving child, G D A D He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child. D A D G And when in the furnace of trial I stand, D E A My Savior beside me doth hold to my hand; D A D G “Be faithful,” He whispers in accents so mild; D A D The flames cannot harm me, for I am His child. D A D A D Oh, I am His child, His own loving child, G D A D He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child. D A D G When clouds thickly gather and hide from my view D E A The face of my Savior, His eye pierces through; D A D G He keeps me from being by Satan beguiled; D A D Securely I’m resting, for I am His child D A D A D Oh, I am His child, His own loving child, G D A D He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child. D A D G His child evermore, and He’s with me, I know, D E A E’en though through the valley of death I should go; D A D G He keepeth my spirit by sin undefiled; D A D He’ll take me to heaven, for I am His child. D A D A D Oh, I am His child, His own loving child, G D A D He cares for me so tenderly, for I am His child.
