Keith Green Lyrics
"Song To My Parents (I Only Want To See You There)"

Verse One:
I need to say these things 'cause
I love you so
And I'm sorry you get angry when I say that
You just don't know

That there's a heaven waiting
For you and me
I know it seems every time we talk
I'm only tryin' to just make you see

Chorus:
And it's only that I care
I really only want
Just to see you there.

Verse Two:
Please try and overlook my,
My human side
I know I'm such a bad example
And you know I'm so full of pride

But Jesus isn't like that-
No He's perfect all the way,
I guess that's why we need Him
'Cause by ourselves (ha)
There's just no way

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Close the doors
They're just not comin'
We sent the invitations out long, long, long, long time ago!

We're still gonna have a wedding feast
Big enough to beat them all
The greatest people in the world just wouldn't come
So now we'll just have to invite the small

(Chorus)

Verse Three:
Isn't that Jesus?
Isn't that Joseph and Mary's son?
Well, did He grow up right here?
He played with our children.

What! He must be kidding,
Thinks He's a prophet,
Well, prophets don't grow up from little boys,
Do they? From little boys?
Do they?
