Newsong: Lord when I remember (Father's House)


 Lord when I remember (Father's house) by Thomas Dean

 I was really lucky to get some time away to write in February and this idea had been on my mind for a while. Jesus own words "Why were you searching for Me? Didn't you know I had to be in My Father's house?" get to the heart of our own lives of worship and devotion. I also wanted to try and put some flesh on the idea of being in God's presence, in his house, and understanding our new identity is in him and him only. (Romans 3, Luke 2.49) 




Verse 1
Lord when I remember
My orphaned heart
I felt no worth

Struggling for direction
You sought me out
And brought me home

I'm standing in your presence

Chorus:
Now when you look for me,
You'll find me in my Father's house
It's where I love to be
You'll find me in my Father's house
He knows my name.

Verse 2:
Imprisoned when you found me
Now your life runs through my veins
And I know freedom in your sonship
You've healed my heart
I am your child

I'm standing in your presence

Bridge:
Thank you, Father
