Didn’t You Know Larnelle

The day seemed long and weary
But the fear had just begun
As they faced what seemed an endless search
To find the missing Son
But then their searching finally led them back
Into Jerusalem
Where they found Him in the temple
Right where He'd always been
And He said to them

Didn't you know
That I'd be in my Father's house
Didn't I say I had plans
That the world knew nothing about
When every road you're traveling
Only leads you to an end
I'll still be here
Right where I've always been

The day seemed long and weary
As she gathered with the crowd
In the shadow of her dying son
Mary grieved aloud
But from the hidden places in her heart
Came words that brought her strength
She'd heard them in the temple
Seems like only yesterday
That she heard Him say
