Father's House Lament Lyrics

Remember the day when Jesus surveyed the temple?
Fire in his eyes
Tables overturned
Doves set free
Passionate words
This is my Father's house
One by one the prodigals and the children are still waiting
They're still waiting

Father your house is filled with all our shameful ways
Father your house we have made a marketplace
Fashion your love into a cord of discipline
Drive out the blinding darkness once again

Father forgive us
Come fill your house with your presence

Father your house is divided by ambitious pride
Father your house is full of unbelief and whitewashed lies
So fashion your love into a cord of discipline
Drive out the blinding darkness once again

Father forgive us
Come fill your house with your presence
Don't pass us by, we need your love
The prodigals are waiting
The prodigals are longing for the Father's love
To fill the Father's house

Listen, listen to Jesus as he quotes the prophet
"It is written. My house will be a house of prayer for all nations."
Can you feel his heart breaking? For the prodigals. For his children

Father forgive us
Come fill your house with your presence
Don't pass us by, we need your love
The prodigals are waiting
The prodigals are longing for the Father's love
To fill the Father's house

One by one by one by one
One by one by one by one

(They're waiting)
Can you hear us?
(How long?)
Can you see us?
Will you heal us?
(How long?)
Can you see us?
Will you heal us?
(How long?)
Can you hear us?
Can you see us?
