They Say

They say I am too small to play

They say I am not pretty or bright

They say I am different because I am gay

They say my thinking is not right

They say, they say, they say

But Jesus says I am a child of God

They say my skin is too black

They say my religion all wrong

They say why don't you go back

go back to where you belong

They say, they say, they say

But Jesus says I am a child of God

They say I don't talk like they do

They say be like the rest of us

They say can't you see it from our view

don't fight it, don't make such a fuss

They say, they say, they say

But Jesus say I am a child of God

But I am a child of God

Created in the very image

I am a child of God

A masterpiece God did finish

No matter what anyone else says

Jesus says I am a child of God
