Adoption Song

Last updated

"Easily one of my favorite songs on the record because you don’t hear the theme of adoption often in songs. However it is the gospel story. I wanted to write a song that in the verses would renounce lies we so easily believe. I love that it has a minor feel which makes the chorus soar as it lifts to declare that we’ve been adopted, His inheritance is ours, and we’ve found the family we were always meant to be a part of."

Composition

"Adoption Song" is composed in the key of B with a tempo of 70 beats per minute and a musical time signature of 4
4. [5]

Critical reception

Reviewing for Jesus Freak Hideout, Matthew Spiker said ""Adoption Song" reminds listeners to pay no attention to those who tell you that you're not good enough or worthy of God's love, and that ever since we were born, He adopted us and loves us and we should proudly share that with others." [6] Lindsay Williams in her K-Love review described the song as "saccharine" and that it is one of the songs on the album that "remind us of our place as children of God." [7] In a NewReleaseToday review, Jasmin Patterson commented: "Brandon uses the lyrics of "Adoption Song" to renounce false beliefs, rebuke ungodly spirits, and align with God's truth. This is a unique and powerful spiritual practice and discipleship lesson for listeners." [8]
