Joey Landreth - Father Son Holy Spirit Lyrics

There he stands
A preacher at the pulpit
He says, Sing for me my children
Make a joyful sound
Deliver now
Deliver now my sermon
Make for me a kingdom
Bring to me my people.

Father son and holy spirit
Mother daughter, holy ghost
Tell me can you hear it?
I didn't want to let you go

There she goes
A lamb to the alter
She closes her sweet eyes
and thinks back on her life
The axe falls
quietly she whispers
This I do for you,
I never asked her to

Father son and holy spirit
Mother daughter, holy ghost
Tell me can you hear it?
I didn't mean to let you go

When did I become someone
You don't want to know?
How did my heart become some place that
You don't want to go?

Here I am
A child of his Mother
Slowly giving up
A fundamental love
A Preacher's son
Trying to consider
That he's not the only one
Doing what's been done

Father son and holy spirit
Mother daughter, holy ghost
Tell me can you hear it?
I didn't never meant to let you go

When did I become someone
You don't want to know?
How did my heart become some place that
You don't want to go
