Child of God was born today   The child of woman just slipped away   The child of man knelt down to pray   And the children of the earth   Didn't know it was the day of   Creation, creation, creation      One thousand years or maybe more   Since they first set eyes on that foreign shore   The grass was green and the water pure   They turned the key and opened the door    To a nation, nation, nation      Child of God says love your brother   Take him by the hand   Child of God says love your neighbour   Make him understand   Child of God says love your sister   Take her by the hand   Child of God says love your neighbour   Make him understand   Make him understand      All believers gather round   Press your faces to the ground   Lift your voices to the sound   Of all the others who have found   Salvation, salvation, salvation   Salvation, salvation, salvation      Child of God says love your brother   Take him by the hand   Child of God says love your neighbour   Make him understand   Child of God says love your sister   Take her by the hand   Child of God says love your neighbour   Make him understand   Make him understand      Salvation, salvation, salvation   Salvation, salvation, salvation   Salvation, salvation, salvation   Salvation, salvation, salvation
