On My Father's Side

Verse

The temple courts were crowded from the feast

I sat there surrounded by all the Pharisees

They said who did you study under Son

How old are you, are you here alone, tell us where you’re from

Chorus

Well On my mother’s side

I just turned twelve years old

Born just down the road

Down in Bethlehem

But on my Father’s side

I’m older than time

I am The Light

From up on high

The perfect Lamb

The Great I Am

On my Father’s side

Verse

When I knelt by that olive tree to pray

A part of me was tempted, to turn and run away

But I came in the flesh to pay the price

To hang on the cross, redeem the lost, and I knew it was time

Chorus

But on my mother’s side

I was sweating blood

Praying take this cup

If there’s another way

But on my Father’s side

I knew the plan we made

Was the only way

The world could be saved

And through me

You could be

On my Father’s side

Bridge

Where the angels prayed

Watching me hang there

Then I heard

All Heaven shake

And break out in praise

Chorus

But on my mother’s side

I felt each Roman nail

I could feel my body fail

With every passing breath

But on my Father’s side

I rose from the grave

I’ve prepared a place

We can hardly wait

For you to see

Your home with me

On my Father’s side

On my Father’s side
