Lyrics and Music by Michael King

© 1996

Verse 1

G          C               D                       G

Ninety nine of the sheep are in the fold

Em             C                D                        G

Yet he puts on his coat and he braves the bitter cold

Em                 C                     D               G

And he steps into the night he could do nothing else

C      D         G

For he has a fathers heart

Verse 2

G                               C            D                          G

Onward through the night the shepherd calls the name

Em   C      D                 G

Of a little lamb who is lost again

Em                 C                     D               G

And he hopes against hope he could do nothing else

C      D         G

For he has a fathers heart

Bridge

Em                                    C         G                         D

Sometimes you think that no one cares about your pain

Em                   C              G                         D

And you feel so lost and lonesome standing in life’s rain

Em                      C                 D                      G

But He searches for you daily and he never will give up

C      D         G

For he has a fathers heart

Verse 3

G                                   C          D                   G

The shepherd finds the lamb so cold and all alone

Em     C                    D                          G

And he gently whispers I’ve come to take you home

Em               C                              D                         G

I’d never leave you or forsake you for you mean so much to me

C        D          G

And I have a father’s heart

Verse 4

G            Em              C           D                      G

Yes God looks to the horizon each and every day

Em                      C              D                        G

Searching for His sons and daughters who have gone astray

Em                  C           D                         G

And He hopes against hope He could do nothing else

C      D         G

For he has a fathers heart

Lyrics and Music by Michael King

Verse 1

G
I looked up into heaven

C                             G

A door was opened to me

A voice cried come up hither

D7th

And I’ll show you eternity

G                D

In a moment of time

C                       G

In the twinkling of an eye

C                       G

I stood before the throne of God

C        D        G

At the end of time.

Chorus

G

And I saw Seraphim and Cherubim

D                              D7th

Surround the throne of God

Em

While the saints of all the ages

D                         D7th

Stood in clean white linen gowns

G

And they cried Holy, Holy, Holy

D                       D7th

As the elders cast their crowns

C

I knew I was in heaven

G

My eternal home

C     D7th              G

Worshiping God before his throne

Verse 2

G

An angel cried who is worthy

C                    G

To open the little book

I wept for there was no one found

D                       D7th                           

Anywhere they looked

G            D

Then the Lamb of God

C                G

Stood as one freshly slain

C                        G

He loosed the seven seals

C     D            G

And began to read

Chorus

G

And I saw Seraphim and Cherubim

D                             D7th

Surround the Lamb of God

Em

While the saints of all the ages

Stood in clean white linen gowns

G

And they cried Holy, Holy, Holy

My eternal home

I looked down through a sea of glass

To a new havens and a new earth

A voice spoke it is finished I’ve completed all my work

G                    D                 C                G

Now the tabernacle of God is with men forevermore

New Jerusalem, the golden city, our eternal home

And I saw Seraphim and Cherubim

Dance on streets of gold

Worshipped God upon His throne

As the elders cast their crowns

My eternal home
