Family of God
Words and Music by William J. Gaither
© 1970

Chorus

I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God

You will notice we say "brother and sister" 'round here,
It's because we're a family and these are so near;
When one has a heartache, we all share the tears,
And rejoice in each victory in this family so dear.

Chorus
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God

From the door of an orphanage to the house of the King,
No longer an outcast, a new song I sing;
From rags unto riches, from the weak to the strong,
I'm not worthy to be here, but PRAISE GOD! I belong!

Chorus
I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God,
I've been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His Blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The Family of God

For the power Thou hast given me to lay
hold of things unseen:
For the strong sense I have
that this is not my home:
For my restless heart which nothing
finite can satisfy:
I giveThee thanks, O God.
For the invasion of my
soul by Thy Holy Spirit:
For all human love and goodness that
speak to me of Thee:
For the fullness of
Thy glory outpoured in Jesus Christ:
I give Thee thanks, O God.

-- John Baillie

HEAVEN’S GLORY
Dear friend, I want to tell you a story,
Of a wonderful vision of Heaven’s glory,
And I looked and saw one with eyes on fire,
For seated on the throne was the one I desire.

He is the Alpha and Omega and the Ancient of Days,
And like the Apostle John I fall at His feet at one gaze,
Looking up I saw the wonderful beauty of His countenance,
His glory shining brightly like the sun’s radiance.

All around His throne the angels gather and sing,
And the twenty – four elders were gathered around,
"Worthy, worthy, O Lord, glory, honour and power” proclaiming,
From the throne lightnings, thunderings, and voices resound.

And all the angels with the saints throughout the ages will gather,
Singing praises in unity from every tribe and every nation together,
"Worthy ; Worthy; Worthy; Blessing and honour and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

When the rewards are handed out at the Bema Seat,
I stand there wishing I had given Him more,
For He had a purpose for me to fulfil I know,
And I realize that much of my life was lived in defeat.

The word said I would overcome by the blood of the Lamb,
And out of life’s trials He would bring peace and calm,
Yet I failed to move fully into all that He had for me,
Fear of man and the situation at hand was all I could see.

But He beckons to me saying “ I am well pleased”
And He rewards me with crowns and I am so blessed,
For He saw my heart and knew that He was my greatest treasure,
And He poured out His love on me without measure.

And my Saviour has prepared a beautiful mansion for me,
I am clothed in robes of righteousness as part of His bride you see,
For all of my sins are washed away forever from me,
And the wonder of His Glory and Majesty eternally I will see.

And then I’m dancing in the streets that are golden,
The wondrous glory of the Lord I am beholding,
Forever and forever His praises I will sing,
As I can now dance eternally with the King of Kings.
