FATHER'S HOUSE
Forrest Frank's song 'My Father's House' is a hopeful reflection on heaven and the promise of eternal life with God. The lyrics paint a picture of a place where there is no need, captives are freed, and believers will spend eternity. Frank wonders about the details of heaven, like streets of gold, but ultimately trusts God's word that one day he will see the gates open. The song emphasizes gratitude for a life no longer painful and the simple act of believing. It offers comfort and assurance about the afterlife, rooted in the idea that God has room for everyone.
Mm, yeah
In my Father's house
He's got room for you and me
In my Father's house
There's no light, there's no need
In my Father's house
All the captives finally freed
In my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
I wonder if the street's really made of gold
Wonder if my two-year-old will be looking old
Does it rain, does it shine, is it hot or cold?
'Cause it don't matter all the bride I'm coming home?
Thankful, life is no longer painful
I believe because you say so
That one day, I'll see the gates open
To my Father's house
Where He's got room for you and me
Yeah, my Father's house
Where there's no light, there's no need
Yeah, my Father's house
Where all the captives finally freed
Yeah, my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
He's got a room for you, and you, and me and you
If there's a need, my Father's gonna meet it too
Forget a key, there's nothing that you need to do
Except just believe
And be thankful, life is no longer painful
I believe because you say so
That one day, I'll see the gates open
To my Father's house
Where He's got room for you and me
Yeah, my Father's house
Where there's no light, there's no need
Yeah, my Father's house
Where all the captives finally freed
Yeah, my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity
My Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity
My Father's house
In my Father's house
Yeah
