    Behind The Song: Cory Asbury Shares The Heart Behind His Song “The Father’s House”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 8 July, 2020 | 2

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Cory Asbury. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “The Father’s House.”

    “The song was actually born probably two and a half maybe three years before it was fully written. It was in the middle of a tour I was on and my soul was just tired. I was weary, feeling broken, jacked-up, weak, messed up…all the things that we feel as humans. I just sat down at the piano and a lot of times for me music is therapy. It’s the time where I just pour out my heart before the Lord. And all of a sudden this one phrase came out ‘You never wanted perfect, You just wanted my heart.’ I realized in that moment that it wasn’t about me having it all together even in the midst of weakness and brokenness, it was just about offering my heart in that space.” – Cory Asbury

    “The Father’s House” Lyrics

    V1
    Sometimes on this journey
    I get lost in my mistakes
    What looks to me like weakness
    Is a canvas for your strength
    And my story isn’t over
    My story’s just begun
    And failure won’t define me
    ‘Cause that’s what my Father does
    Yeah, failure won’t define me
    ‘Cause that’s what my Father does

    CH
    Ooh, lay your burdens down
    Ooh, here in the Father’s house
    Check your shame at the door
    ‘Cause it ain’t welcome anymore
    Ooh, you’re in the Father’s house

    V2
    Arrival’s not the end game
    The journey’s where you are
    You never wanted perfect
    You just wanted my heart
    And the story isn’t over
    If the story isn’t good
    Failure’s never final
    When the Father’s in the room
    Failure’s never final
    When the Father’s in the room

    BR
    Prodigals come home
    The helpless find hope
    Love is on the move
    When the Father’s in the room
    Prison doors fling wide
    The dead come to life
    Love is on the move
    When the Father’s in the room
    Miracles take place
    The cynical find faith
    Love is breaking through
    When the Father’s in the room

    The Jericho walls are quaking
    Strongholds now are shaking
    Love is breaking through
    When the Father’s in the room
    love is breaking through
    When the Father’s in the room
