ON MY FATHER'S SIDE
(John L. Reinhardt, Jr.)

1. Jesus sat there in the temple, just a lad of early age,
Talking with the scholars who were utterly amazed.
They marveled how a child could ever be this wise
And when they asked how old He was, I'm sure it took them by surprise
When Jesus said, "On Mother's side I'm only twelve years old,

CHORUS 1:
"But on my Father's side, I am Alpha and Omega;
On my Father's side, the Beginning and the End.
On my Father's side is the throne I left in Heaven.
Soon I'll sit down on the right of my Father's side again."

2. It was clear for them to see He was no ordinary boy,
'Cause with every word He spoke there was power in His voice.
I can almost hear Him answer all the questions being thrown
As the teacher asked Him, "Son, where do you call home?"
And Jesus said, "On Mother's side I'm just a lowly Nazarene,

CHORUS 2:
"But on my Father's side, my residence is Heaven.
On my Father's side, the gates stand open wide
To my Father's side, where the saints will be rejoicing
When I step across the tide to my Father's side."

BRIDGE:
If your sins are washed away then you have been redeemed.
Now we are His family, so join with us and sing:

CHORUS 3:
On our Father's side our residence is Heaven.
On our Father's side, the gates stand open wide
To our Father's side where the saints will be rejoicing,
When we step across the tide to our Father's side.
