Chords for Tim Menzies | 'On My Father's Side' (acoustic)

Hello, I'm Tim Menzies and welcome to the CCM Cafe.
Re-reading the Gospel of John by Divine Inspiration,
John tells us in John 1, verse 14,
the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
_ In verse 17, for the law was given through Moses,
_ grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
_ No one has ever seen God, but God the one and only,
who is at the Father's side, has made him known. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ The [G] temple courts were crowded from [F] the feast.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ I sat [G]
there surrounded _ [F] by all the Pharisees.
[C] _ _ They said, who did you [G] study [F] under, son?
_ _ [C] _ _
_ How old are [G] you?
Are you here alone?
_ [C] Tell us where you're from. _
Well, on my mother's side, _ [G] _
[D] I just turned 12 [Dm] years old, _
born [C] just down the road, _ [F] down in [G] Bethlehem.
_ But on [A] my [Am] father's side, _ _ _ I'm [Gm] older than [F] time.
_ [Dm] I am the light [E] from up on [F] high,
[C] the perfect lamb, _ _ [G] the great I am _ on my [C] father's [C] side.
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ When I knelt by that olive [G] tree to pray,
[C] _ _ _ _ _
a [G] part of me was tempted _ [F] to turn and run away,
_ _ [C] but I came in the flesh [G] to pay the [C]
price,
_ _ to [G] hang on the cross, redeem the [F] lost,
and I knew it [C] was time, [F#] but on [C] my mother's side,
_ _ [G] I [D] was sweating [D] blood, _ _ [C] pray and take this cup, _
if there's another way, _ [F#] but on [A] my [Am] father's side,
[E] _ _ [Am] I [F] knew [Gm] the plan we made _ [D] was the only way
[C] the world could be [F] saved, and through me,
_ [C] _ _ [G] you could be _ on [A] my father's [E] side.
_ [Am] _ [G] Where the angels [C] prayed, _ [Em] watching [D] me hang there,
[G] then I heard all [A#] heaven [F] _
shake [A] and break out in _ [F#] praise.
_ _ [A] On _ [B] _
_ [D] my mother's side, _ _ I [E] felt each Roman nail,
_ [F#] I could [D] feel my body fail [G] with every passing [D] breath,
but on my [Bm] father's side, _ _ _ [C#] I rose to the top,
I rose from [G] the grave, [E] I prepared a place,
[F#] we can hardly [G] wait for you to see,
_ [A] your home with me, _ _ _ _ on my [D] father's side, _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ on my _ father's side.
