You... ARE the Father!


Copyright 2011 A Peace of crySTYLE

God I must give you all the glory
Because your Son's blood re-wrote my story
No need to go to Maury; I already know you're the Father
The paternity test rests in your word so why should I bother?
My brother is the Son of Man; I'm a child of the Lamb
So when people ask who sent me, I'll say, "The Great I AM."
Man, I'm blessed just to be called His own; He has never left me alone
And when I need Him, I don't have to use a phone; no matter the zone
Doesn't matter about how long the distance may be, there's no fee
I can boldly come before His throne of grace for free
Some may say I'm worthless, but my Father knew my worth
He deemed me priceless even before my birth
Like a body needs a shirt or a woman wears a skirt
In the same manner my big Brother's blood covered my dirt
I wore a mask to cover my hurt; but He said, "It's all in the past.
Whom the Son sets free is free indeed; it's not supposed to last."
As I look at the task before me, it consists of a lot of races
But God is my coach; his word is my water, so I'll tie up my laces
And because God is for me, there's no such thing as 2nd and 3rd places
I know the race is not given to the swift nor the strong
But to the one that endures because the road is long
And Father I'm holding on, I got your blood running through my vein
Since the transfusion of your Son's blood, I haven't been the same
Even though I lose my life, I found out in you I still gain
Your grace and mercy falls freely like pouring rain

As your children, you've never paid child support to support us
You said you'd give us our heart's desire if we have faith and trust ya
Oh Father I trust ya, from Alaska back to Russia
Your people love ya; and there is no one above ya
We hide your word in our heart like a cop going undercover
You know the chapters in our life from cover to cover
I can't afford to pay the bill of life but your Son said, "I got it covered."
And I've realized that there is none before You and after, there is no other
God I give you praise, there are days I'm so amazed
Of all the forms to express the heart, you said go in this way
And there's no way I could go on without you
That's like trying to fix something broken with no tool, a car with no fuel
No water in a pool, Randy and Simon without Paula Abdul
Okay, okay Lord you see where I'm going with this
If you hadn't saved me and changed me, I'd be living but wouldn't exist
You let them to nail your Son's feet and wrist, allowed Judas to kiss Him
As they pierced Him, they laughed and dissed Him
And You had to turn Your back as though You didn't miss Him
But He still said He loved them, for You to forgive them
Even the sinner on the cross realized he would need him
My brother asked, "Why has thou forsaken me," but He rose on day three
So that in You we can have victory and live for eternity
So I don't have to take you on TV and say I'm 1000% sure; I know
Because I'm made in your image from my head to my toes
And it shows because people can tell I'm your child
Otherwise they'd ask, "How can you look like Him still living foul?"
So Father with your help, I'll spread your word for distribution
So our family can grow as we await our Family Reunion!
