A song about the inexplainable, yet so tangible longing for a place that I've never seen or been to.

In the house of my father there are many rooms
And once I get there, there'll be one for me too
In the house of my father tears are washed away 
The days are filled with laughter 
And the night's as bright as the day
In the house of my father I'm welcomed and at rest
And the ghosts that haunt me now
Will meet their final death
In the house of my father I'll meet him face to face
And all these earthly uncertainties will forever be erased

Many rooms - Elisabeth Harder

Oh to know that you are the answer to every question I could ask
Oh to know that I can run all my life, but I cannot outrun your love
Oh to know that you came to be with me, when I can't even stand myself
That you will not get tired of me or leave me without help

Immanuel, in you I've made my home
You're my light and comfort, I am not alone

To you Lord I called in days of trouble, when the locusts came
You bent down, you rescued me out of sin and unbelief
You covered up my nakedness, you restored me to life
Oh God, I owe you everything. Who am I that you'd remember me?

Immanuel, in you I've made my home
You're my light and comfort, I am not alone

And I fear no evil, for my soul is hidden with you
And the years that the locusts have eaten, you restore, you make all things new.

Oh to know, you are the answer
Oh to know, you are the answer
Oh to know,my God, that you are the answer to every question I could ask.

A song for days of trouble - Elisabeth Harder

There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains 3x
And sinners plunged beneath that flood 
lose all their guilty stains

Dear dying lamb thy precious blood 
shall never lose its power 
Till all the ransomed church of God 
be saved to sin no more 3x
Till all the ransomed church of God 
be saved to sin no more

E'er since by faith I saw the stream 
thy flowing wounds supply 
Redeeming love has been my theme 
And shall be till I die 3x
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

Orig. William Cowper, 1772
