Abba Father

Michael Card
 ♪
 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
 Chorus
 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 that 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
 Repeat Chorus
