That's Just The Way The Father Is

(album: Awesome Wonder - 2000)

[Verse 1]
How could He love me?
How could He know me?
How could one so awesome, ever care so much for me?
How could He love man, enough to redeem man?
How could He sacrifice, His only son to set me free?

[Chorus]
That's just the way the Father is.
He'll be a friend when you're not His.
That's just His way, that's just the way He is.
He's nothing like your other friends.
He'll be with you until the end.
That's just His way, that's just the way He is.

[Verse 2]
Why did He choose me?
And why does He use me?
How could He put, His trust in me, to carry out His will, ohhh.
How could He love me, knowing all He knows about me?
How could He look beyond my faults and find success in me?

[Chorus]

[Hook]
He's great & He's faithful...
He's great & He's faithful.
Morning by morning, a brand new mercy I see, ohhhhhhhh.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
That's just the way, that's just the Father is. [5x]

[Talking]
I don't always live like I ought to live, but He loves me.
I don't always pray like I ought to pray, but He blesses me anyway.

[Bridge 5x]

That's just the way, the Father, is.
