I
HE DREAMT ABOUT THE FATHER ONE DAY
HE WAS IN TATTERED CLOTHES, WEAK AND HUNGRY
HE SAW HIM AND HE ASKED WHY
HE SAID, “THEY WON’T LET ME IN
I’VE NO PLACE TO STAY”

II
HE REMEMBERED ONE NIGHT IN A LOWLY MANGER
THE KING OF EARTH WAS BORN A STRANGER
JOSEPH AND MARY SEARCHED AND KNOCKED EVERYWHERE
“THERE’S NO ROOM” SAID THE INN KEEPER

REFRAIN
THEN HE ASKED “FATHER, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN”
TO THOSE BIG CHURCHES BUT THEY WON’T LET ME IN
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN WAY AND THEY WON’T ACCEPT ME
THERE’S STILL NO ROOM FOR ME

III
THEN IN HIS DREAM HE SAID “FATHER COME IN”
MY HOUSE IS JUST SO SMALL AND SO SIMPLE
BUT FROM NOW ON IT’S YOURS TO OWN AND RULE
TAKE THIS FATHER AND BE THE KING OF ALL

CHORUS
HE SAID TAKE MY LIFE AND USE IT FOR YOUR GLORY
FATHER YOUR WORD IS MY LAW
YOUR WILL I’LL OBEY
HE SAID, “JUST AS YOU HAVE OVERCOME
I’LL BE YOUR FATHER, YOU ARE MY SON”
THROUGH YOU I’LL REIGN ETERNALLY
