Song To My Parents

You know, there's only one place where Jesus wasn't received
And that was His hometown
He said that a man's enemies would be them of his own household
And He said a prophet is not without honor except in his hometown
And I'll never forget the day I went home
To tell my parents that I'd met Jesus
"Mom! Mom and Dad! Wait! Wait! I—"
"He swallowed something."
This is called "Song to My Parents"

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 trying to just make you see

But it's only that I care
I really only want just to see you there

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, there's just no way

And it's only that I care
I really, really only just want to see you there
To see you there

Close the doors
They're just not coming
We sent the invitations out a 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

And it's only that I care
I really, really only want just to see you there

Isn't that Jesus?
Isn't it Joseph and Mary's Son?
Well, didn't 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?
