Paper 141 – Beginning the Public Work 🎶 Song: The Father of All (Introduction) God the Father, love so near, Calls His children, far and clear. Brothers, sisters, hearts made new, In His family, all are true. (Verse 1 – Leaving Galilee) From Galilee they journeyed far, The Master’s light their guiding star. Though family turned away in pain, Brothers found in love remain. (Verse 2 – God’s Law and the Father’s Will) Not law of stone, nor throne of might, But Father’s will, the soul’s delight. Children of God, His sons we stand, Brothers joined by love’s command. (Verse 3 – The Sojourn at Amathus) Three weeks long, the truth was sown, Faith and rest in Him alone. The Sun of love, the Father’s care, Brothers living everywhere. (Verse 4 – Teaching About the Father) No judge of wrath, no distant king, But Father close, His love we sing. “You are His child,” the truth set free, Brothers bound in unity. (Verse 5 – Spiritual Unity) Not uniform thought, nor single voice, But brotherhood, the Father’s choice. Different hearts, yet all belong, One great family, pure and strong. (Verse 6 – Last Week at Amathus) Plant the truth, let error fade, The gospel’s seed forever laid. “God is your Father,” the message clear, Brothers living without fear. (Verse 7 – At Bethany Beyond Jordan) Faith brings life, the truth makes free, The Sun of love for all to see. Poor and rich, the call the same, Brothers gathered in His name. (Verse 8 – Working in Jericho) Healing hearts, restoring sight, Brothers walking in the light. The Father’s love, the gospel’s song, Comfort given, spirits strong. (Verse 9 – Departing for Jerusalem) Toward the city, hearts aflame, Brothers carrying the Father’s name. The Sun of truth, the kingdom’s way, Family of God forever stay. (Bridge – The Father of All) The Father’s love shines on each face, No chosen few, no special place. His light of truth is what we see, Brothers living in unity. (Chorus) Shine, O Love, eternal flame, God our Father, hearts proclaim. Brothers, sisters, joined as one, Family of the Holy One.
