Verse 1
He walked into a storefront church not a nickel to his name
The clothes that he wore he had on for days
As he sat there on the back row the preacher began to preach
From the Holy Bible John 3:16
He told how Jesus died to save poor souls
How we can be heirs with Christ to all the Father owns.
Verse 2
He wondered in his mind is this all make-believe
Why would a King like Him give his life for me?
Love captured his heart a tear ran down his face
He longed to know this Savior so he bowed his head to pray
He said Jesus please forgive me for all of my sin
That moment he was changed from a poor boy to a King's kid
Chorus 1
From a poor boy to a King's kid
From a sinner to a saint was born again
He was amazed when the change took place in his life
From a beggar to all that Heaven holds
From a hopeless case to eternal hope
He felt like he could fly when he made things right
Poor boy to a King's kid
Verse 3
He'd never been so happy he could hardly wait to share
With his mom and daddy that someone really cared
But on the way back home from that storefront church
He stepped onto the road couldn't see the car come around the curve
Angels came to carry him to Heaven
If you could see him now a new life he is living
Chorus 2
From a poor boy to a King's kid
More happy now than he's ever been
He was amazed when he kissed this world goodbye
From filthy rags to riches untold
Living in a mansion on a street of gold
He was just a simple child but you ought to see him now
Poor boy to a King's kid
