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
Ooh, lay your burdens down
Ooh, here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door (ooh)
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore (ooh)
Ooh, you're in the Father's house
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
A failure's never final when the Father is in the room
And failure's never final when the Father is in the room
Ooh, lay your burdens down
Ooh, here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door (ooh)
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore (ooh)
Ooh, you're in the Father's house, yeah
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
And love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
The Jericho walls are quakin'
Strongholds now are shakin'
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
I said love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
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
Yeah, lay your burdens down
Ooh, here in the Father's house
Ooh, you're in the Father's house
