Abba Father

Until Your Son called out to me

I was lost

For years my cradle swung

above the grave

It is a wondrous thing

to be adopted by a king

To know a love

that crowns and crucifies

When Your Spirit moves

I breath a prayer to You

A cry not from my mouth

but from the heart

Because the Spirit came

I can use Your holy name

The tender name a son could only use

Abba Father

Abba Father

Since that word became

Your covenant name

Abba Father

I cry out to You

Knowing You will hear my plea

For You've adopted me

Your Spirit of adoption came

and filled my heart

To smile upon the earth behind my eyes

Urging me to give

teaching me to live

To show the family likeness of Your love

So Jesus has become for me a brother Lord

The special son who died to set us free

His cross for me has won

the right to be Your son

A blessed son You'd never cast aside

Abba Father

Abba Father

Since that word became

Your covenant name

Abba Father

I cry out to You

Knowing You will hear my plea

For You've adopted me

Abba Father

Abba Father

Since that word became

Your covenant name

Abba Father...
