Twelve years ago it all began with an angel in my dream
I took Mary as my wife, and we united in our holy virginity
Simeon and Anna announced his destiny
Who am I that God should be obedient to me?
One day a carpenter's son will be nailed to a tree
Three days ago I held my child's small hands
God's hands that made the morning
I am father to a king who has not come to rule the world
But now my child is gone--what have I done wrong?
God left me without warning!
Why would God cause me such distress?
Have I failed to live in faithfulness?
Where did you go, Jesus?
I've been searching for days
Calling out your name with every prayer I pray
See the tears of a father in search of a son
I'm so afraid I did not know quite how to love
Trouble is, I didn't notice right away that you were gone
I went searching for your presence among friends and family
Never has one day felt so long
I did not find you there so I turned right back around
Oh, where can my beloved child be found?
In the streets and squares of Jerusalem
Where is my beloved now?
Desperate for grace, I went with Mary to the temple to pray
We were astonished to find Jesus teaching the elders
Who looked with wonder at his face
I ran to embrace him
Oh son, why have you done this to us?
We've been looking for you! We have been so anxious!
Jesus turned and said: Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that in my Father's house I'd be?
You're the earthly father of the heavenly Father's son
I will hide in your home till my hour comes
Jesus spoke in words I could not comprehend
All I know is that my son was lost and has been found again
I love him as my child but revere him as my God
I'm the chosen father of the Lord's own perfect love
What joy it is to find God's perfect love
