Abba Father

Abba, Father

Words & Music by Glenda H. Davis, 2003

Abba, Father,

Hold me in Your arms;

Surround me with Your peace,

Safe from all alarms.

Abba, Father,

Take me by the hand;

Lead me all the way

Into the Promised Land.

I have a tendency to stray from Your presence,

Even though I say You mean the world to me.

And when I stray, You chasten me in Your displeasure;

But that means that I'm Your child, so chasten me.

Abba, Father,

Teach me how to pray,

To touch Your heart with mine

With ev'ry word I say.

Abba, Father!

Here beneath Your wing,

Sheltered from the storm,

My heart begins to sing!

You give me hope in ev'ry hopeless situation,

Knowing there is nothing that You cannot do.

You are Almighty God and Lord of all creation;

But I'm so glad You're Abba, Father, too!

Abba, Father, (echo)

I adore You! (echo)

Abba, Father, (echo)

I implore You: (echo)

Help me walk (echo) in Your way, (echo)

From Your side (echo) never stray, (echo)

And love You more (echo) ev'ry day, (echo)

Abba, Father! (echo)

Abba, (echo)

Father, (echo)

Abba! (all)
