“Child of God”, is Mehuman’s third and most authentically transparent composition delivered as a preview of her upcoming full-length album “Ladybird”, slated to release later Spring 2025. “Child of God”, is about wrestling through the wilderness of compounded trauma resulting in actual clinical heartbreak. Child of God documents an unprecedented season of Mehuman’s radical crisis of profound doubt in the wakes of multiple tragic deaths.“I was lost in despair”, says Mehuman, ’Child of God’ was penned as a desperate plea for answers, comfort and clarity. Grief is not linear, fair or kind. Grief a relentlessly brutal bludgeoning form of education. In which I have learned how to keep living.” ’Child of God’ is a confident questioning of Heaven for the only answers that have the power to restore a broken spirit. Crafted from heartache, “Child of God” is a tribute to the most transformative experience of in life, the loss of a loved one.
Lyrics
Children of God by Mehuman
V1
I believe
Everything is well in it’s place
Held in the heavenly,
And by mercy and amazing grace
But when I hear a mother cry,
I wondering, “what happened in heaven when a Child of God dies?”
V2
I know
Even in this deep sorrow
There still strengthen for today
And high hopes for tomorrow
But when I hear a father cry
I wondering, “what happened in heaven when a Child of God dies?”
Bridge:
If I knew the world were ending tomorrow
I would surely plant a tree for you today
If I have to beg, plead, steal, and borrow
I will surely wipe all your tears away
V3
I pray
That I learn to love well and love well, now
Oh someday I’m going home, when my time runs out
And when you hear this Children of God cry
Go on look up to the heavens, go on look to the sky!
Outro:
When I meet my momma I hope she knows my face
When I hear my daddy, I hope he calls my name
When I see my Jesus shining like the sun
Gonna shout hallelujah, Gonna get my well done!
Gonna shout hallelujah, Gonna get my well done!
