Lyrics
Father of the Poor
Verse 1:
Father of the poor, here we stand before Your throne with our hearts--they're all we have.
Receive them, Lord; accept our praise, and pour out Your Spirit upon us all.
Ancient of Days, we have searched the whole wide world for Your peer, and we have found none.
Receive our praise and pour out Your Spirit upon us all.
Chorus:
You are the answer, Lord.
What a sight to behold--majestic upon Your throne.
O great Healer, dwell in our hearts.
We bow before You, Holy One.
Verse 2:
I'll sing praise to You, Most High, for Your ways are not like ours;
You are filled with wisdom, love, and kindness.
You sent Your Son to die for us.
Every knee shall bow before the Most High, for in His sight mercy overflows;
He is filled with wisdom, love, and kindness.
He sent His Son to die for our sins. *Chorus*
Bridge:
Who can declare like You--our Creator, our Friend, and our Shield?
O gracious Redeemer, Voice of Truth, the Cornerstone, the builder of life.
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life--our Creator, our Friend, and our Shield.
O gracious Redeemer, Voice of Truth, the Cornerstone, the Builder of Life. *Chorus*
