On My Father’s Side Lyrics


by Tim Menzies

Verse 1
The temple courts were crowded from the feet’s.
I said there’s surrounded by all the Pharisees
They said who did you study under sun.

Pre-Chorus
How old are you?
Are you here long 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 ten.
I am the light from up on high,
the perfect land, the great I am.
On my father’s side.

Verse 2
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 redeemed the lost and I knew it was time.

Chorus
But on my mother’s side, I sweat in blood.
Pray and 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.

Post-Chorus
On my father’s side, where the angels pray.
Watching me hangin’ there,
then I heard on heaven shake
break out in praise.

But on my mother’s side, I felt they throw my name.
I could feel my body fail with every passing breath.

But on my father’s side, I rose from the grave.
I prepared a place we can hardly wait for you to see
you’re home with me.

On my father’s side.
On my father’s side.
