In My Father's House

You might been raised on the block

You mighta wandered here from far

But no matter where you come from

No matter who you areYou don't need no ID

You don't need no membership cards

Well, you know you're always welcome

In my Father's houseYou might be a child of the streets

You might be rich man's son

An' no matter what you're doin'

No matter whatcha doneWhen you got nowhere to hide

Got nowhere to run

Well, you know you'll find shelter

In my Father's house

When you're lonely an' discouraged

An' misery has no end

When you need that helpin' handAn' no-one wants to lend

When you're beggin' for a friend

Yes, you know you're gonna find one

In my Father's houseWhen you're mistreated in this world

Like a stranger in your own land

When the chains around your heart

Are just too much to standWhen heaven's just a word

An' hell is close to hand

Come an' lay your burden down

In my Father's house

You might been raised on the block

You mighta wandered here from far

But no matter where you come from

No matter who you areYou don't need no ID

You don't need no membership cards

Well, you know you're always welcome

In my Father's house
