Intro
Verse 1
Sometimes on this journey
I get lost in my mistakes
What looks to me like weakness
Is a canvas for Your strength
And my story isn't over
My story's just begun
Failure won't define me 'cause
That's what my Father does
Yeah, failure won't define me
‘Cause that's what my Father
does
I get lost in my mistakes
What looks to me like weakness
Is a canvas for Your strength
And my story isn't over
My story's just begun
Failure won't define me 'cause
That's what my Father does
Yeah, failure won't define me
‘Cause that's what my Father
does
Chorus
Ooh, lay your burdens down
Ooh, here in the Father's
house
Check your shame at the door
(Ooh)
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
(Ooh)
Ooh, you're in the Father's
house
Ooh, here in the Father's
house
Check your shame at the door
(Ooh)
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
(Ooh)
Ooh, you're in the Father's
house
Interlude
Verse 2
Arrival's not the end game
The journey's where You are
You never wanted perfect
You just wanted my heart
And the story isn't over
If the story isn't good
A failure's never final when
The Father’s in the room
A failure's never final when
The Father’s in the room
The journey's where You are
You never wanted perfect
You just wanted my heart
And the story isn't over
If the story isn't good
A failure's never final when
The Father’s in the room
A failure's never final when
The Father’s in the room

The Father's House - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The Father's House by Cory Asbury is a beautiful reminder of the power of God's love and grace. In the song, Cory reminds us that even when we make mistakes, God is still with us and will never leave us. He reminds us that failure is never final when the Father is in the room.
This is a powerful reminder of the truth found in Romans 8:38-39 which says, “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” No matter what we do, God's love for us is never ending and He will always be with us.
The song also speaks of the power of God's love to bring hope and healing to those who are in need. We see this in the lyrics, "Prison doors fling wide, the dead come to life, love is on the move when the Father's in the room." This is a reminder of the truth found in John 11:25-26 which says, “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.’” God's love is powerful enough to bring life to the dead and to bring hope to those who are in need.
The Father's House is a beautiful reminder of the power of God's love and grace. No matter what we do, God's love for us is never ending and He will always be with us. He is always ready to bring hope and healing to those who are in need. Let us remember this truth and be encouraged by it today.
