Who Sings On My Mothers Side?

ON MY MOTHER’S SIDE
by Wendy Bagwell

Joseph and Mary went searching three days / for the son that they had raised / They found him teaching in the temple / and this he had to say / (I'm doing my Father’s business) / I'm doing my Father’s business / the elders had never heard / such wisdom so they asked / how, when, and where / who is this child with the word

(Son, what’s your name?)
On my mother’s side, my name is Jesus
On my Father’s side, Emmanuel

(How old are you, son?)
On my mother’s side, I'm just twelve years
On my Father’s side, I’ve always been

(And where were you born?)
On my mother’s side, I was born in Bethlehem
On my Father’s side, the new Jerusalem

(What are your plans, son?)
On my mother’s side, I will be crucified
On my Father’s side, in three days I will rise
I will rise and sit at my Father’s side.

On my mother’s side, my navde is Jesus
On my Father’s side, Emmanuel
On my mother’s side, I will be crucified
On my Father’s side, in three days I will rise
I will rise, I will rise, I will rise.

Hi there,

the only info I found about a song called "On my Mother's Side" is, that it is sung by Wendy Bagwell & The Sunliters.
Recently this track has been re-released on a CD called "Wendy Bagwell & The Sunliters : Roll Away The Stone - The Canaan Vault"

lyrics (found on a forum, so not sure if it's correct) :



just a young boy in the temple
one day shared with the doctors
and
they were so amazed
never had they seen one so young speak
quick they
asked him many questions
the conversation went like this

chorus :

Son, what is your name?
on my mothers side my name is jesus
on my fathers side they emmanuel
Son, how old are you?
on my mothers side now I'm 12 years
but on my fathers side well I've just always been
well were are you from?
on my mothers side I'm from bethlehem
on my fathers side it's near jerusalem
what are your plans?
on my mothers side I will be crucified
but on my fathers side in three days I will rise
and set on my fathers side

he was the son of god yet the son of man
and I can't help but
wonder how joseph felt
when through open door that day he heard his son
reply
I am the king of kings thats on my fathers side.


On some Christian sites, I found a text similar to the one above, but under the titel "On My Father's side" :

ON MY FATHER'S SIDE

A young boy just happened to be at the temple one day
Met with the doctors and they were just amazed
Never had they seen one so young speak so swift
They asked him many questions
the conversation went like this:

What's your name son?
On my mother's side, my name is Jesus!
But on my Father's side, I'm called Imanuel.
How old are you son?
On my mother's side, I am twelve years old!
But on my Father's side, I've just always been.
Where are you from Son?
A town called Bethlehem, it's near Jerusalem.
Well, what are your plans son?
I'll be crucified, in three days, I'll arise
And sit at my Father's side.

Who he was, the Son of God, and yet the son of man
I can't help but wonder how Joseph must have felt
When through an open door that day, he heard his son reply
You see, I am the King of Kings, on my Father's side.

The Barn Again Gang also sings "On My Father's Side," and they have a sort-of folky sound that sounds beautiful...
