“Did It My Way”
Orphan Theme Song
“Did It My Way”
Orphan Theme Song
I've lived a life that's full –
I've traveled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
“Did It My Way”
Orphan Theme Song
I planned each charted course –
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
“Did It My Way”
Orphan Theme Song
Yes, I faced it all and I stood tall.
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
Oh no, not me.
I did it my way.
“Did It My Way”
Orphan Theme Song
For what is a man? What has he got?
If not himself - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way.

sin is crouching at your door; it desires to

heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You
have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in
joyful assembly, 12:23 to the church of the firstborn,
whose names are written in heaven. You have come to
God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous
men made perfect, 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a
new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks
a better word than the blood of Abel. (Heb 12:22-24)

God Claims All First-Born Sons
8:16 They (the Levites) are the Israelites who
are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them
as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male
offspring from every Israelite woman. 8:17
Every firstborn male in Israel, whether man or
animal, is mine. When I struck down all the
firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.
8:18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all
the firstborn sons in Israel. (Num 8:16-18)

Jesus is God’s first Firstborn Son
For those God foreknew he also
predestined to be conformed to the
likeness of his Son, that he might be the
firstborn among many brothers.

God, they are the sons of God.

bondage again to fear; but you have received

from the trees in the garden,
3:3 but God did say, `You must not eat fruit from the
tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not
touch it, or you will die.'"
