on a hot and dusty day while Your disciples were away when the woman came to You You didn’t turn away she didn’t see just who You are and she tried to hide her scars but You reached out to save her even though she’d fallen far when You came to her to show the Father’s love You let the blind see the sun You let the lame jump and run You fed the thousands from Your hand and blessed the children one by one and when an outcast leper came You showed Your tenderness again he felt a touch he’d longed for and thought he’d never feel again and all because You came to show the Father’s love when the boat began to fill when You told the waves “be still” the Creator took His place and all was quiet at Your will when the storm was on the sea and when the storm’s too much for me when You calm the storm, You show the Father’s love You taught the people every day on how to live from day to day when Your disciples came to you You taught Your children how to pray You taught us how we should forgive You showed us how to live the Father sent You to us to show us love through how You lived You were the only way that He could send His love in the garden where You prayed and when the mob took You away when You stumbled down the street as night turned into day when You offered up Your life when You gave Yourself to die there was no greater way to show the Father’s love when they thought that you were gone and didn’t want to carry on they never understood the plan they didn’t know that they were wrong You were just resting for the day the Father had something to say Not even death could hold You No grave could keep Your love away and when He raised You up, He showed the Father’s love when it was time for You to go when the Father took You home You said You’d send the Helper down and that we’d never be alone You said You’d go prepare our place and when we get to see Your face then we’ll never, never leave the Father’s love
