On My Father's Side  Recorded by The Village Singers Written by Felecia Shiflett


G+G            C majorC
Just a young boy in the temple one day
G+G                  D7D7
Shared with the doctors they were so amazed
G+G             C majorC       G+G
Never had they seen one so young speak so swift
                 D7D7           G+G
They asked him many questions the conversation went like this


2 What?s your name son
   C majorC            G+G
On my mother?s side my name is Jesus
     D7D7             G+G
But on my Father?s side they call me Emmanuel

3 How old are you
   C majorC           G+G
On my mother?s side now I?m twelve years
     D7D7           G+G
But on my Father?s side I?ve just always been


4 Where you from
   C majorC           G+G
On my mother?s side I?m from Bethlehem
     D7D7           G+G
But on my Father?s side it?s New Jerusalem


5 What?s your plan
   C majorC           G+G
On my mother?s side I?ll be crucified
     D7D7
But on my Father?s side in three days I?ll arise
              G+G
And I?ll sit by my Father?s side


           C majorC
He was the Son of God yet the son of man
G+G                        D7D7
And I can?t help but wonder how Joseph must have felt
G+G                C majorC       G+G
Through an open door that day he heard his son reply
               D7D7          G+G
You see I?m the King of Kings that?s on my Father?s side
