Bob Hartman (Chorus) |
|
Why should the |
|
Father Bother to call us |
|
His children? |
|
Why should the |
|
Spirit Hear it when we pray? |
|
Why should the |
|
Father Bother to be concerned with all our needs? |
|
It's all because of what the |
|
Son has done |
|
Once we were lost out on the ocean |
|
With no direction or devotion |
|
Tossed about by every wind and wave |
|
Now we are in the world, not of it, |
|
And we can surely rise above it |
|
Because the |
|
Lord has risen from the grave |
|
And we cry, ' |
|
Abba, Father' ' |
|
Abba, Father', ' |
|
Abba, Father' ' |
|
Abba, Father', ' |
|
Abba, Father' ' |
|
Abba, Father' |
|
Once were strangers from the promise |
|
We were doubters worse than |
|
Thomas 'Til the |
|
Spirit opened up our eyes |
|
Now He has offered us adoption |
|
And we have taken up the option |
|
To be His family eternally |
