G                       C
Just a young boy in the temple one day
G                                    D7
Shared with the doctors they were so amazed
G                          C              G
Never had they seen one so young speak so swift
                                  D7                     G
They asked him many questions the conversation went like this


G
What?s your name son
      C                        G
On my mother?s side my name is Jesus
          D7                         G
But on my Father?s side they call me Emmanuel


G
How old are you
      C                     G
On my mother?s side now I?m twelve years
          D7                      G
But on my Father?s side I?ve just always been


G
Where you from
      C                      G
On my mother?s side I?m from Bethlehem
          D7                     G
But on my Father?s side it?s New Jerusalem


G
What?s your plan
      C                     G
On my mother?s side I?ll be crucified
          D7
But on my Father?s side in three days I?ll arise
                            G
And I?ll sit by my Father?s side


                      C
He was the Son of God yet the son of man
G                                                D7
And I can?t help but wonder how Joseph must have felt
G                                C             G
Through an open door that day he heard his son reply
                              D7                    G
You see I?m the King of Kings that?s on my Father?s side
