The Father’s Song by Matt Redman

This is one of those songs which have become instant classics. At a retreat recently with John Arnott, he said, “And now Debs will sing the Father’s Song over you.” It sounded as inevitable as “Amazing Grace.” And yet it is not even ten years old!! And written by the amazing Matt Redman.
I love it. I have this image of myself dancing with the Father, who sings this song over me as we waltz each time I listen to it. It is so spiritually powerful!!

Here’s a Youtube link, and the lyrics.

I have heard so many songs
Listened to a thousand tongues
But there is one
That sounds above them all

The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart

CHORUS:
Heaven’s perfect melody
The Creator’s symphony
You are singing over me
The Father’s song
Heaven’s perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me
The Father’s song

I have heard so many songs
Listened to a thousand tongues
But there is one
That sounds above them all
[Sounds above them all]

The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart

CHORUS

It’s Heaven’s perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me
The Father’s song

The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart
[It’s written on my heart]

The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart
It’s written on my heart
You sing it over me
Father
