Father
Father, I need you now
But you're nowhere to be found
And I don't know which way to turn
If you're so far away
Too far to say
Today, be strong
Tomorrow will belong
To the ones who'll stand for the

Father, I need advice
Must my heart be cold as ice
Will the people follow me
When you're so far away
Too far to say
Today, be strong
Tomorrow will belong
To the ones who'll stand for you

It's true that since you're gone
Since your royal tomb's been sealed
Another spirit's been revealed
One who challenges our very God
And there's a greater gift
That's raining fire from the skies
Even my baby boy has died
Tell me you hear me
Oh, Father, I need you now
You say that every knee must bow
But you never taught me how
And you're so far away
Too far to say
Today, be strong
Tomorrow will belong
To the ones who'll
Stand up for their God
Standing up against all odds
Could the voice of destiny
Speak to Moses, set my people free
Or will we rule and reign forever
Now the slightest chance
That's taken root inside my head
And I must do as He commands
And send His people away
Take them all away
Father and Son are gone away
Everyone's gone away
