"The Father's Song" lyrics

I'll protect you
So put those fists down
You don't have to fight now
I'm your Father
I'll protect you
Let me love you
I'm so proud of you
You've given me everything
And that means so much to me

I'm so proud of you
You didn't run away when it got hard
I'm your Father
Let me protect you

Oh, I love you
My daughter, my son
Oh, I love you
Oh, I love you
Oh, I love you

Here comes my love now
You've been asking to feel it
I'm not one to withhold it
Here comes my love now

Here comes my love now
Why would I withhold that from you?
Why would you think you would need to earn something from me?
Don't you know, don't you know
I formed you in your mother's womb 'cause I wanted you?
They had nothing to do with that decision
You were my decision

So tell me
Why have you been striving?
You were my decision
Here comes my love now

Here comes my love
Here comes my love
There goes the weight
There goes that heavy thing that's been sitting in your soul
Just give me that
I'll give you me

I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Listen now, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
You're my baby
I love you, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

Let me pour my love on you
From a Father to a son
From a Father to a daughter
Let me pour my love on you

I'll protect you
I'll defend you
I've heard every word they said
I've heard every word they accused you of
I've heard it too
But I love you

I want you to know those aren't my words
Those were not my words
I see you pure
I've seen your motives, I've seen your intent

So let my love song
Cause those lies to fall like stone around you
There they go now
Don't you know my love is all around?

I'll protect your ears
And I'll protect your heart
Let my love be your helmet
And my voice be your song
A sound track for your heart

'Cause this is my beloved, I am well pleased
This is my beloved, I am well pleased
You are my beloved and I am well pleased

You are my beloved and I am well pleased
You are my beloved and I am well pleased
You are my beloved and you are well pleased in us
'Cause we are your beloved and you are well pleased
We are your beloved and you are well pleased

My thoughts for you
They outnumber the stars in the sky
They outnumber the sand in the sea
I can't stop thinking about you
Don't you know I desire you?
I'm constantly interceding for you
I'm constantly giving grace to you

I'm removing the pressure
I'm removing the pressure
I'm removing the pressure to measure up to something
I'm removing the pressure

Oh, I'm removing the pressure
I'm removing the pressure
I won't let you stay way down
I'm removing the pressure
In you, I have so much pleasure

Jesus loves me, this I know

Jesus loves me, this I know
I've heard him tell me so

This is home, Lord
This is home, we're home in Your love
Let us never wander from this place
Keep us in Your love, Holy Spirit
We love because You first loved us
Keep us in first love, Lord

Make us a people who love like You
Who are kind to people when they wrong us

So sing this last song together as we leave
Just as a reminder that we only love because He first loved us
It's an impossible road to walk without seeing the man of love
Just sing this song about turn, turn our eyes to Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
Just close your eyes and behold love himself

Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Just close everything else out and look

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Oh turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Oh turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Sing it one more time
Oh turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
