I am His child, and I am proud.

He stands upright, and so shall I.

I do not crawl as serpents do,

I will not steal, nor cheat, nor lie.

Let monkeys dance, and climb, and jump,

And swing from branches of a tree;

I'm not a monkey, nor a fish,

I am His child, He dwells in me.

He creates, He thinks, He loves,

And as His child, I do these things.

I do not bark, nor bray, nor growl,

I bear His image, and His name.
