Drawing on real-life experiences near to the hearts of its members and others in their midst, rock band Third Day is using the issue of adoption as a metaphor for God's love in the video for their latest single, "Children of God".

The track is the second single release from their latest album, Move. It features footage of families with adopted children wearing t-shirts emblazoned with the word "adopted".

They include Third Day's lead vocalist Mac Powell, who recently welcomed adopted son Emmanuel and daughter Birdie into his family.

The idea behind the t-shirts is that we're all adopted into the family of God.

The video for "Children of God" can be seen on Third Day's channel on YouTube: www.youtube.com/

Third Day is in the midst of a 40-city tour supporting album Move.
