Forrest Frank - FATHER'S HOUSE Lyrics
Lyrics
Mm, yeah
In my Father's house
He's got room for you and me
In my Father's house
There's no light, there's no need
In my Father's house
All the captives finally freed
In my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
I wonder if the street's really made of gold
Wonder if my two-year-old will be looking old
Does it rain, does it shine, is it hot or cold?
'Cause it don't matter all the bride I'm coming home?
Thankful, life is no longer painful
I believe because you say so
That one day, I'll see the gates open
To my Father's house
Where He's got room for you and me
Yeah, my Father's house
Where there's no light, there's no need
Yeah, my Father's house
Where all the captives finally freed
Yeah, my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
He's got a room for you, and you, and me and you
If there's a need, my Father's gonna meet it too
Forget a key, there's nothing that you need to do
Except just believe
And be thankful, life is no longer painful
I believe because you say so
That one day, I'll see the gates open
To my Father's house
Where He's got room for you and me
Yeah, my Father's house
Where there's no light, there's no need
Yeah, my Father's house
Where all the captives finally freed
Yeah, my Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity (Yeah)
Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity
My Father's house
Where we'll spend eternity
My Father's house
In my Father's house
Yeah

FORREST FRANK - FATHER'S HOUSE (OFFICIAL AUDIO)
Meaning & Inspiration
Forrest Frank's "FATHER'S HOUSE," arriving just after the midpoint of 2025, immediately settles into the soul like coming home after a long journey. The song doesn't just play; it invites you into a space of deep peace and belonging, a feeling amplified by Frank's characteristic blend of smooth, accessible production and earnest, transparent vocal delivery. Musically, it builds gently, perhaps with a simple, grounding beat and warm instrumentation that wraps around you, creating an atmosphere of safety and welcome. There's a certain rhythmic quality that feels both relaxed and hopeful, mirroring the anticipation of reaching a desired destination. It's the kind of track that encourages you to breathe deeply, letting go of the world's noise and finding solace in its message.
At its core, "FATHER'S HOUSE" is a heartfelt exploration of our ultimate destination and identity in God. The title itself is a direct echo of the profound promise found in John 14:2-3, where Jesus tells His disciples, "In my Father’s house are many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you... I will come back and take you to be with me." This song beautifully captures the yearning for that eternal home, the place where our true citizenship lies, as described in Philippians 3:20. It speaks to the weariness of navigating a world that often feels transient and sometimes hostile, contrasting it with the unwavering security and love found in God's presence. The narrative woven through the music seems to be one of journeying – perhaps through trials, uncertainties, or simply the everyday striving – with the constant, magnetic pull towards the source of life and rest. It reminds us of the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, whose journey culminates not just in returning, but in being fully embraced and celebrated in his father's house, highlighting themes of unconditional love, forgiveness, and restoration.
The beauty of "FATHER'S HOUSE" lies in its ability to translate complex theological truths into an experience that feels deeply personal and relatable. It’s more than just a concept; it’s a place of belonging for the soul. The song evokes the feeling of Psalm 23:6, "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." It speaks to the deep human need for a permanent dwelling, a place where we are fully known and fully loved, a place free from the tears, death, mourning, and pain promised in Revelation 21:4 when God makes His dwelling among His people. Forrest Frank’s delivery likely carries a sincerity that makes this hope palpable, transforming the abstract idea of heaven or eternity with God into something tangible and profoundly desirable. The music supports this by creating a sense of warmth and inevitability, like the sun setting after a day of work, promising rest. This song serves as a melodic anchor, pulling our gaze upward and forward to the glorious reality that awaits those who are in Christ, reminding us that we are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, as Ephesians 2:19 so wonderfully puts it. It’s an inspiring piece that doesn’t just offer a picture of the future but encourages us to find glimpses of that peace and belonging even now, knowing that our ultimate home is secure.
