[Verse 1]

Dm              C/D
In the beginning he gave us the word
Dm
But a voice in the wilderness
C/D
Can never be heard


[Chorus]

     F            G         Dm
So he called for a father of time
F             G         Dm  C/D Dm C/D
Called on the father of time


[Verse 2]

Dm
I guess you've all heard of me
C/D
I count the cost
Dm
I was there at Calvary
C/D
When he died on that cross


[Chorus 2]

     F            G         Dm
So he called for a father of time
F             G         A
Called on the father of time

[Verse 3]

Dm
I make the predictions
C/D
I am your fate
Dm
But when you're running with progress
C/D
You hear me too late


[Chorus 3]

     F            G         Dm
So he called for a father of time

Called on the father of time

Now I see destruction

Flames burnin' high

No need for the word now

No father of time
