In the Name of the Father – Lyrics

All the song lyrics for Gavin Friday‘s songs from the soundtrack album ‘In the name of the Father‘.

In the name of the father

Come to me

Come lie beside me

Oh don’t deny me

Your love

Make sense of me

Walk through my doorway

Don’t hide in the hallway

Oh love…step over

I’ll follow you down

I’ll follow you down

In the name of whiskey

In the name of song

You didn’t look back

You didn’t belong

In the name of reason

In the name of hope

In the name of religion

In the name of dope

In the name of freedom

You drifted away

To see the sun shining

On someone else’s day

In the name of United and the BBC

In the name of Georgie Best and LSD

In the name of a father

And his wife the spirit

You said you did not

They said you did it

In the name of justice

In the name of fun

In the name of the father

In the name of the son

Call to me

No one is listening

I’m waiting to hear from you love

Stay with me

It’s cold in the ground

But there’s peace in the sound

Of the white and the black

Spilling over

I’ll follow you down

Written and recorded by Bono, Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer. From the soundtrack for the film In the Name of the Father by Jim Sheridan.

You made me the thief of your heart

I hope you’re happy now…

…I could never make you so…

you were a hard man…

no harder in this world

you made me cold and you made me hard

and you made me the thief of your heart

Winter is cold…oh!

But you’re colder still

and for the first time

I feel like you’re mine

I share you with the one who will

mend what falls apart

and turn a blind eye

to the thief of your heart

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

you lost all

you lost all

I’ll never wash these clothes

I want to keep the stain

Your blood to me is precious

nor would I spill it in vain

your spirit sings

though your lips never part

singing only to me

the thief of your heart

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

lost all

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

lost all

You made me the thief of your heart (12″ remix, stained mix)

I hope you’re happy now…

I could never make you so…

You were a hard man…

No harder in this world

You made me cold and you made me hard

And you made me the thief of your heart

Winter is cold…oh!

But you’re colder still

And for the first time

I feel like you’re mine

I share you with the one who will

Meant what falls apart

And turn a blind eye

To the thief of your heart

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

You lost all

Ohhh you lost

you lost all

You lost all

I’ll never wash these clothes

I want to keep the stain

Your blood to me is precious

Nor would I spill it in vain

Your spirit sings

Though your lips never part

Singing only to me

The thief of your heart

From the point of lies

Within the mind of God

Let light stream forewards

Within the minds of man

Let light descend on earth

From the point of love

Within the hearts of God

Let love stream forewards

Into the hearts of man

May the Christ return to earth

From the center

Where the will of God is now

Let the purpose guide the little wills of man

Purpose wich the masters now unserve

From the center wich we call the race of man

Let the plan of love and light work out

And may is seal the door where evil dwells

Let love and light and power

Restore the planet earth

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

you lost all

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

you lost all

I hope you’re happy now…

I could never make you so…

You were a hard man…

No harder in this world

You made me cold and you made me hard

And you made me the thief of your heart

Winter is cold…oh!

But you’re colder still

And for the first time

I feel like you’re mine

I share you with the one who will

Meant what falls apart

And turn a blind eye

To the thief of your heart

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

You lost all

Ohhh you lost

you lost all

You lost all

I’ll never wash these clothes

I want to keep the stain

Your blood to me is precious

Nor would I spill it in vain

Your spirit sings

Though your lips never part

Singing only to me

The thief of your heart

From the point of lies

Within the mind of God

Let light stream forewards

Within the minds of man

Let light descend on earth

From the point of love

Within the hearts of God

Let love stream forewards

Into the hearts of man

May the Christ return to earth

From the center

Where the will of God is now

Let the purpose guide the little wills of man

Purpose wich the masters now unserve

From the center wich we call the race of man

Let the plan of love and light work out

And may is seal the door where evil dwells

Let love and light and power

Restore the planet earth

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

you lost all

Ohhh you lost

Ohhh you lost all

you lost all
