Lyrics

LAP OF LOVE (words & music by Tom Zovar 10-03 rev 3-31-04)


VERSE 1:
MY YOUNG SON AND I WE?D LOVE TO WALK,

THROUGH THE WOODS ON THE PATHS AND IN THE PARK,

IF WE?D WALK TOO LONG UP THE HILLS ON HIGH

MY SON WOULD RAISE HIS ARMS TO ME AND CRY

HE?D SAY ?DADDY, PICK ME UP, I CAN?T WALK NO MORE

MY LEGS ARE SORE , THIS ROAD IS ROUGH,

PLEASE LIFT ME UP, CAN YOU HOLD ME

ONTO YOUR LAP??YOUR LAP OF LOVE


VERSE 2:
AS THE YEARS WENT BY AND MY SON GREW TALL

I TOLD HIM, ?THERES ONE FATHER WHO IS ABOVE ALL?.

AS YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST IS NOW SET APART

THEN SURRENDER THE CHILD? THE CHILD INSIDE YOUR HEART


AS A PROUD YOUNG DAD HIS FAMILY GREW

WITH A COUPLE OF KIDS OF HIS OWN, A LITTLE ONE TOO

WHEN THEY?D GO FOR THEIR WALKS, AND AS TRIED THEY GOT

THEY?ED ALL RAISE THEIR ARMS, SAYING DADDY ,

DADDY PICK ME UP??..

CHORUS 1:
THE KIDS WERE SHOUTING DADDY, AS THEY JUMPED AND CRYED

I CAN?T WALK NO MORE, I WANT A PIGGY BACK RIDE

PLEASE PICK ME UP, HOLD ME ABOVE

INTO YOUR PRESENCE, ONTO YOUR LAP?.. YOUR LAP, OF LOVE.



VERSE 3:
WELL MY SON WITH HIS FAMILY AT CHURCH THAT DAY,

AND I KNEW I WAS RUNNING? A LITTLE LATE

FROM THE BACK OF THE CHURCH I SAW HIM THERE

WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS STANDING NEAR

THE WORSHIP CAME & THEIR ARMS WENT UP,

HE CRIED FATHER??FATHER, LIFT.. LIFT ME UP


THE CHURCH WAS SINGING?

CHORUS 2:
FATHER, OH FATHER GOD

CAN I BE?..CAN I BE WHERE YOU ARE?

PLEASE HOLD ME CLOSE, DRAW ME ABOVE

INTO YOUR PRESENCE??YOUR HOLY PRESENCE?.

OH FATHER GOD I LIFT MY HANDS AND SURRENDER, FOREVER
I WORSHIP YOU AND PURPOSE TO TAKE HOLD OF..YOUR LOVE

I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, FATHER I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU
I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, FATHER I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU
PLEASE HOLD ME, JUST HOLD ME, FATHER HOLD ME, PLEASE HOLD ME
I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU, FATHER I NEED YOU, I NEED YOU?I NEED YOU

VERSE 4:
AS THE YEARS GO BY I SEE THE STORY

HOW THE FATHER IS ABOVE IN GLORY

AND AS I GROW OLD NOW I CAN SEE

THROUGH GENERATIONS FAR BEYOUND ME?.

WE NEED TO REACH FOR GOD TO SET US FREE

SO FATHER AS YOUR CHILD,

I?LL STILL RAISE? RAISE MY HANDS TO THEE??.


CHORUS 3
ABBA FATHER, OH FATHER GOD, I CAN?T WALK NO MORE

MY LEGS ARE SORE , THIS ROAD IS ROUGH,

PLEASE LIFT ME UP, CAN YOU HOLD ME

ONTO YOUR LAP??YOUR LAP OF LOVE
