Draylin Young - Child Of God Lyrics

Child of God centers on a single change in status rather than a change in feeling: the singer moves from stranger, slave, and orphan to son and daughter. Each bridge repeats that list of former identities before naming what replaces them, treating the shift as legal and relational rather than emotional.

The pre-chorus states the reasoning behind that shift directly, "whom the Son sets free is free indeed," close to John 8:36's own wording about the freedom Christ gives. The song ties that freedom to a specific act, being rescued "in just three days," locating the change in Christ's death and resurrection rather than in a private decision alone.

The chorus follows with a changed name, a changed heart, and a new start, close to the language of adoption in Romans 8:15, where believers receive a spirit of sonship rather than a spirit of slavery. Draylin Young's lyric treats that adoption as complete rather than aspirational, closing on the repeated declaration "I am a child of God" instead of a request for it to become true.
