Power of God
Words and Music by Anna Rundall


He's a broken man
sitting on a barstool
Loudly telling stories
that no one wants to hear
Drowns the aching soul
clutches fading glory
Once he had a family
and now, he has his beer

Such is the power of God
That He heals the brokenhearted
Taking sin that separates
and he nailes it to a Tree
A carpenter's Son has given us
the tools for restoration
but the willingness has got to come from me
the willingness has got to come from me.

She's no longer five
Oceans are between them
Just like she once told him
in a child's determined voice
Leaving wasn't easy
Facing him is harder
Once she had a father
Now, she has a choice

Chorus:
Such is the power......

Bridge:
Love is not a feeling
to forgive is not agreeing
it is giving to the Lord
what wasn't yours right from the start

No more Daddy's girl
Here's a grown up woman
wishing for the love that he so rarely showed before
But he goes back to drinking
She gives up her dreaming
Turns to go back home
and leaves the hatred at the door

Final Chorus:
Such is the power of God....
