Child of God is a traditional Black gospel hymn that doubles well as a song for Christmas worship services. The song captures the essence of enduring faith through hardship in its title verse, and was used as a song for slaves to communicate on the underground railroad as they escaped to freedom; undoubtedly, the song today is a testimony to spiritual freedom through faith. Our version is a simple, easy going swing, which is great for Jazz and Gospel services, and the arrangement sings through five times, with the fifth verse being a powerful restatement of “tell them I’m a child of God.”
