Fearfully, wonderfully made in the image of Abba
I am free completely, safe in the arms of my Father

A thought before life ever started
You took Your time on me

I’m royalty
My Father is King
I believe I am Yours

You made me on purpose
And I am Your favorite

Help me to see everything You see in me

Meaning & Inspiration
Royalty is a worship song about identity. It opens by saying the singer is fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of Abba, free completely and safe in the arms of the Father. The chorus repeats the confession "I am royalty," resting on the belief that the singer belongs to God and is who He called the singer to be.
The second part uses the picture of a brush in the hands of an artist, calling the singer His masterpiece and a thought in His mind before life began, shaped with care and time. The bridge says the singer was made on purpose and is His favorite, and the closing line asks to see everything He sees. The themes follow Psalm 139:14 on being wonderfully made, Ephesians 2:10 on believers as God's workmanship, and 1 Peter 2:9 on a royal priesthood. The short, repeated declarations give the song a confident, tender tone for congregational worship.
