Carman
Overcoming Child
All my friends been wondering
Where my future lies
Since I took my stand for Christ
And gave Him my life
They're wondering just what's in store
Since I've, quote, found the way
That's when the Lord stirs up my soul
And I quite clearly say

"Well, I'm growin' up to be a born again
Blood washed, spirit filled, testifyin' child of a King
I'm gonna praise Him in the morning
Through the afternoon, 'til night
And then I'll dream about witnessing
Well, I wanna walk and talk and act like Jesus
Though I may get feathered and tarred
The world may try and stop my mission
But I grow with opposition
Cause I'm an overcomin' child of God."

[Spoken] Anybody feel the same way?
[Audience applauds]
[Spoken, chuckling] I figured

Oh, the expressions on their faces change
Every single time
You know the looks they give are priceless
But so's this look on mine
God wants us to share the Lord
That's our Christian task
So when someone says, "What's happenin', man?"
I say, "I never thought you'd ask."
"I'm growin' up to be a born again
Blood washed, spirit filled, testifyin' child of a King
I'm gonna praise Him in the morning
Through the afternoon, 'til night
And then I'll dream about witnessing
Well, I wanna walk and talk and act like Jesus
Though I may get feathered and tarred
The world may try and stop my mission
But I grow with opposition
Cause I'm an overcomin' child of God."

Well, men try and stop my mission
But I grow with opposition
'Cause I'm a Bible totin', scripture quotin'
Sin defacin', Devil chasin'
Chorus hummin', guitar strummin'
Gospel preachin', soul reachin'
Overcomin' child of God!
Woo!
