On My Father’s Side

Just a young boy in the temple one day

Shared with the doctors they were so amazed

Never had they seen one so young speak so swift

They asked him many questions the conversation went like this

On my mother´s side my name is Jesus

But on my Father´s side they call me Emmanuel

On my mother´s side now I´m twelve years

But on my Father´s side I´ve just always been

On my mother´s side I´m from Bethlehem

But on my Father´s side it´s New Jerusalem

On my mother´s side I´ll be crucified

But on my Father´s side in three days I´ll arise

And I´ll sit by my Father´s side

He was the Son of God yet the son of man

And I can´t help but wonder how Joseph must have felt

Through an open door that day he heard his son reply

You see I´m the King of Kings that´s on my Father´s side

On my mother´s side my name is Jesus

But on my Father´s side they call me Emmanuel

On my mother´s side now I´m twelve years

But on my Father´s side I´ve just always been

On my mother´s side I´m from Bethlehem

But on my Father´s side it´s New Jerusalem

On my mother´s side I´ll be crucified

But on my Father´s side in three days I´ll arise

And I´ll sit by my Father´s side
