Adopted (written by Karyn Hopper, wife of Billy Hopper, Pastor of Honolulu Bible Church in Waikiki/music by Kerry) a duet with Judy Rogers

This beautiful lyric, written by Billy Hopper, Pastor of a great church in Waikiki, HI was handed to me while Rita and I were on vacation. God doesn’t only legally clear us at the law bench (justify us)…he welcomes us as a member of the royal family!

Without a home, without a name, Cursed by God who knew my blame Without a hope, without a way To God my Judge, my debt to pay
With heavy heart, with endless pain His Son took on the curse of blame
With blood stained hands, with nail-pierced side He bore my sin, my Brother died
Chorus
Adopted by the Father, chosen as His child Once a stranger, bound for danger, Now I’m reconciled Accepted by the Father, ransomed as His Son, Lonely sadness now made gladness, Heaven is my home v2Now I’m an heir, my Father’s son, With Christ my Way, with heaven my home No longer Judge, He calls me child, The cost of guilt now reconciled Chorus
