On My Father's Side
by Tim Menzies

Album: He Reminds Me

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."

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

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

But on my mother's side, I 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, where the angels pray.
Watching me hang there,
Then I heard on heaven shake
Break out in praise.

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
