	Story Behind the Song SAMUEL COLERIDGE MADE HIS REPUTATION FROM POETRY INFLUENCED BY HIS DRUG-INDUCED VISIONS. HOWEVER, LATER IN HIS LIFE HE TURNED TO THE LORD AND THIS SONG IS A POEM HE WROTE IN THIS LATER, FAITHFUL PERIOD SET TO MUSIC. Lyrics 1.GOD'S CHILD IN CHRIST ADOPTED, CHRIST MY ALL WHAT THAT EARTH BOASTS WERE NOT LOST CHEAPLY? THAN FORFEIT THAT BLESSED NAME BY WHICH I CALL TH'HOLY ONE TH'ALMIGHTY GOD MY FATHER? FATHER, IN CHRIST WE LIVE AND CHRIST IN THEE ETERNAL THOU AND EVERLASTING WE 2. OH THE TRUE LIFE, LET THEN EARTH AND SEA AND SKY MAKE WAR 'GAINST ME, ON MY FRONT I SHOW THEIR MIGHTY MASTER'S SEAL, IN VAIN THEY TRY TO END MY LIFE, OH THAT CAN BUT END ITS WOE. IS THAT A DEATHBED WHERE A CHRISTIAN LIES? YES BUT NOT THEIRS, IT'S DEATH ITSELF THAT DIES! THE HEIR OF HEAVEN, HENCEFORTH I FEAR NOT DEATH, IN CHRIST I LIVE, IN CHRIST I DRAW THE BREATH!
