Benjamin William Hastings
The Father’s House (Live At Sound Emporium)
[Verse 1]
Sometimes on this journey, I get lost in my mistakes
What looks to me like weakness is the canvas for Your strength
And my story isn't over, and my story's just begun
Failure won't define me 'cause that's what my Father does
Failure won't define me 'cause that's what my Father does

[Chorus]
Ooh, lay your burdens down, yeah
Ooh, here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooh, you're in thе Father's house, hey

[Verse 2]
Arrival's not thе end game, the journey's where You are
You never wanted perfect, You just wanted my heart
And the story isn't over, if the story isn't good
Failure's never final when the Father is in the room
Ooh, I say failure's never final when the Father is in the room

[Chorus]
Oh, lay your burdens down
Oh, 'cause you're in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooh, you're in the Father's house, yeah
[Bridge]
Prodigals come home
The helpless find hope
Love is on the move
When the Father's in the room
Prison doors fling wide
Watch the dead come to life
Oh, love is on the move
When the Father's in the room, let's go
Miracles take place
The cynical find faith
And love is breakin' through
When the Father's in the room
I think the Jericho walls are quakin'
The strongholds now are shakin'
Love is breakin' through
When the Father's in the room
Oh, love is breakin' through
When the Father's in the room

[Chorus]
Oh, lay your burdens down
Ooh, lay 'em down, lay 'em down, here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooh, you're in the Father's house, one more time
Ooh, you're in the Father's house
