This song was inspired by a Christian magazine cover. The title read…”The Kingdom of God”…and there was a crown and a throne on the front cover. All of a sudden I thought of Cinderella. I have always loved fairytales as a little girl and dreamed of living in a castle with my prince. It then dawned on me that Jesus was my King-and that I was His princess. He took me in, rags and all, and gave me new garments, a new home and called me His bride. When you come to Him and call Him your Lord and King…you are His…His prince…and His princess! (John 14:2, Romans 8:17, Galatians 4:3-7, James 2:5)

Once upon a time- not so long ago
There lived a princess but she didn’t know
Her heart was on earthy pleasures
And there was a King in the land
Who called upon her hand
His heart- was on heavenly treasures

CHORUS:
And He saw who she could be- ‘Cause He had the eyes to see
And He promised her royalty- And He made a princess- outta’ me

Well now- she had tattered clothes –and her shoes were full of holes- well
Her clothes- they wouldn’t storm the weather- no no no no no no
But He had- garments new- that were custom through and through
His robes- oh they’d never sever

CHORUS

And He knew me in the womb- oh- and He gave me - so much more than a silver spoon
And He had a plan for His bride- oh yeah- and He’d never stop- He’d lay down His life

I had no bed- no place to rest my head- but I dreamed of somethin’ better- oh well now
He had a home- a mansion for His own – in His house- we will live forever

‘Cause He saw who I could be- and He had the eyes to see
He promised me royalty- And He made a princess- outta’ me
Yeah- He made a princess outta’ me---oooh
