The Family of God and the Homecoming Crew

The lines of this song, The Family of God written by Gloria and William J. Gaither, has been running through my mind all week.  I truly believe that as Christians we are a part of the family of God.  I love hearing how songs are written and the story of how this song was written is being told in the following video.  I will also put the lyrics below.  It's an amazing song and I'm so glad to be a part of blogland's family of God. 

II Corinthians 6:16,18
"And God said, I will dwell in them...and they
shall be My people;...and ye shall be My sons
and daughters."

Lyrics The Family of God

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.

Verse 1

You will notice we say "brother and sister" 'round here -

It's because we're a family and these folks are so near;

When one has a heartache we all share the tears,

And re joice in each victory in this family so dear.

Verse 2

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.

Ephesians 5:20: "giving thanks always for all things to

God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
