Lyrics
CHORUS 1
Don't forget, you're a child of God, don't forget, who you are and whose you are
Cause the enemy will tempt you, when you least expect, don't forget you're a child of God, oh yeah,
Don't forget, you're a child of God
(Don't forget, you're a child of God )
Don't forget, you're a child of God, don't forget, who you are and whose you are
(don't forget) (don't you forget)
Cause the enemy will tempt you, when you least expect, don't forget you're a child of God, oh yeah,
Don't forget, you're a child of God
(Don't forget, you're a child of God )
VERSE 1
The will of God is moving through this land, it's time to choose a side on which to stand
You're either for Him or against Him, never in between, take your place in the Lord's army, oh yeah
Don't forget, you're a child of God
(Don't forget, you're a child of God )
We get discouraged when we get knocked down, because we fail to put our armor on
Take the helmet of salvation and the shield of faith, stand your ground on the battlefield, oh yeah
Don't forget, you're a child of God
(Don't forget, you're a child of God )
Bridge 1
Don't forget, Gethsemane, don't forget, His sacrifice on Calvary, don't forget, how he set you free

Don't forget, your responsibility, don't forget how He brought you out, don't forget, what this thing is all about
( your responsibility how He brought you out what this thing is all about)
CHORUS 2
Cause the enemy will tempt you, when you least expect, don't forget you're a child of God, oh yeah,
Don't forget, you're a child of God

Bridge 2
Don't forget, Gethsemane, don't forget, His sacrifice on Calvary, don't forget, how he set you free
( Gethsemane His sacrifice on Calvary how he set you free)
Don't forget, your responsibility, don't forget how He brought you out, don't forget, what this thing is all about
( your responsibility how He brought you out what this thing is all about)
Don't forget, if there's a will, He's the way, don't forget, you can be saved today
( if there's a will, He's the way you can be saved today)
Don't forget, to plead the blood of the Lamb, don't forget, HE's the Great I AM!
( to plead the blood of the Lamb HE's the Great I AM! )
CHORUS 2
