Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) It wasn’t earned in the hours of the day It wasn’t bought with the words that I say It’s a kindness that found me when I was a stray A Father’s hand reaching through the decay. I was a vessel, brittle and dry Until the Mercy fell down from the sky Now I am breathing because of the Grace That looks past my fallen and sees His own face. (Chorus) For the Love of the Father is a river, not a lake It’s meant to be given, not just for our sake We are the hands, we are the feet Bringing the hope to the dust of the street. If we’ve been forgiven, if we have been fed Then we must be breaking the heavenly bread Let it overflow, let the world see the sign That we are the branches and He is the Vine. (Verse 2) He calls us His children, the heirs to the light Not meant for the shadows or the chill of the night But a gift isn’t given to hide on a shelf A man cannot live for the sake of himself. For the bread that was broken and the wine that was poured Weren’t meant to be kept, but to be restored To the hungry, the weary, the poor, and the low The more that we give, the more we will know. (Chorus) For the Love of the Father is a river, not a lake It’s meant to be given, not just for our sake We are the hands, we are the feet Bringing the hope to the dust of the street. If we’ve been forgiven, if we have been fed Then we must be breaking the heavenly bread Let it overflow, let the world see the sign That we are the branches and He is the Vine. (Verse 3) So look at the stranger with the eyes of the Son For the work of the Kingdom has only begun It’s found in a cup of cold water, a coat for the cold It’s the greatest story that’s ever been told. We are the letters that the world’s gonna read The harvest that comes from a tiny mustard seed If we say that we love Him but turn from the pain Then the song that we’re singing is sung all in vain. (Bridge) It’s a love that seeks the one who’s lost A love that never counts the cost A love that moved a heavy stone And says "You’ll never walk alone." Now go and do what He has done Until the many become one. (Chorus) For the Love of the Father is a river, not a lake It’s meant to be given, not just for our sake We are the hands, we are the feet Bringing the hope to the dust of the street. If we’ve been forgiven, if we have been fed Then we must be breaking the heavenly bread Let it overflow, let the world see the sign That we are the branches and He is the Vine. (Outro) Let it overflow... As He loved us, let us love them too. Children of the Light, In everything we do. (Chorus) For the Love of the Father is a river, not a lake It’s meant to be given, not just for our sake We are the hands, we are the feet Bringing the hope to the dust of the street. If we’ve been forgiven, if we have been fed Then we must be breaking the heavenly bread Let it overflow, let the world see the sign That we are the branches and He is the Vine.
