I renounce the lie
That I don’t measure up
I renounce the lie
I’m unworthy of Your love
And when shame comes knocking
And fear starts talking
I will lift my hands
In Your presence, You remind me who I am
I am adopted
I am beloved
It’s my inheritance
I’m a child of God
So when the liar
Starts mouthing off
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
Whoa
Whoa
I found my family
Where I belong
Whoa
Whoa
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
I rebuke any spirit
That’s tried to keep me bound
And I plead the blood of Jesus
The accuser has no ground
And my future’s given
Name is written
In His nail-scarred hands
And forevermore, I know whose I am
I am adopted
I am beloved
It’s my inheritance
I’m a child of God
So when the liar
Starts mouthing off
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
Whoa
Whoa
You are my family
Where I belong
Whoa
Whoa
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
Yeah
Nothing’s gonna take
Nothing’s gonna take it away
I carry Your name
I carry Your name
I carry Your name, yeah
I carry Your name
Nothing’s gonna take
Nothing’s gonna take it away
I carry Your name
I carry Your name
I carry Your name
I carry Your name
‘Cause I am adopted
I am beloved
It’s my inheritance
I’m a child of God
So when the liar
Starts mouthing off
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
Whoa
Whoa
You are my family
Where I belong
Whoa
Whoa
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
I’ll sing in confidence
My adoption song
