Verse 1

I cant help it
I wrestle with my pride
I still get jealous
I miss the blessings in my life
When I’m so focused
On things that I’ve placed
Higher than Your name

Verse 2

Lord I’m angry
Do I not deserve
Some kind of mercy
I’m starting to believe
That You’d desert me
I’m drawing near
Can You tell me once again

Chorus

You don’t hand
Out love in portions
You don’t gatekeep grace
You don’t play games
With Your children
You don’t act that way
At Your table there’s a place
That You saved just for me
I don’t have to beg
Because I’m a child
And I got a seat
Near my Father

Verse 3

My heart is restless
But I know that You stay
Closer than a best friend
Your heart is pure
You have my best intentions
So I can trust Your plans
With my whole heart
With my whole heart

Chorus

You don’t hand
Out love in portions
You don’t gatekeep grace
You don’t play games
With Your children
You don’t act that way
At Your table there’s a place
That You saved just for me
I don’t have to beg
Because I’m a child
And I got a seat

Refrain

Near my Father
Near my Father
Near my Father
Near my Father

Chorus

You don’t hand
Out love in portions
You don’t gatekeep grace
You don’t play games
With Your children
You don’t act that way
At Your table there’s a place
That You saved just for me
I don’t have to beg
Because I’m a child
And I got a seat

Tag

I don’t have to beg
Because I’m a child
And I got a seat
Near my Father
