“Božje Sam Dijete Ja”

“Božje Sam Dijete Ja” is the hymn "I Am a Child of God" in Croatian.  This past summer all of the grandchildren sang this while we were together for a reunion.  I love hearing this hymn sung in different languages.  It doesn't matter where you live, what your ethnicity is or what language you speak, we are all children of God.

Here are the words in English:

I Am a Child of God

1. I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.

[Chorus]
Lead me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.

2. I am a child of God,
And so my needs are great;
Help me to understand his words
Before it grows too late.

3. I am a child of God.
Rich blessings are in store;
If I but learn to do his will
I'll live with him once more.

4. I am a child of God.
His promises are sure;
Celestial glory shall be mine 
If I can but endure.
