Child of God
I was in a band named Encomium at my church (about a decade ago). This is a demo song we recorded on my computer. Benton originally let me borrow a CD that had an instrumental version of this song that featured a violin part. He wanted me to do the violin part with my guitar using an EBow. We had another song I played EBow on, so I was happy to oblige. The violin part from the instrumental version kind of stepped on the vocals, however, so they recorded the song sans EBow when they cut their first CD. I remixed the demo a few nights ago to reduce EBow levels (and totally remove it in a few sections).
The song features Benton Blount and Haven Street on vocals. Zach Lenz was on keyboard.

Child of God

Your life laid down, crucified,
Your arms stretched out and opened wide,
To rescue me, so I could be a Child of God.
From nail pierced hands and thorn pierced brow,
Your blood flows down to me somehow,
It cleanses me, so I could be a Child of God.
Praise to the Lamb that was slain,
Praise to the Father, that gave his son away.
The proof of love, the price of grace,
You traded all to take my place,
And died for me, so I could be a Child of God.
Your arms stretched out and opened wide,
To rescue me, so I could be a Child of God.
From nail pierced hands and thorn pierced brow,
Your blood flows down to me somehow,
It cleanses me, so I could be a Child of God.
Praise to the Lamb that was slain,
Praise to the Father, that gave his son away.
The proof of love, the price of grace,
You traded all to take my place,
And died for me, so I could be a Child of God.
