Abba Father Lyrics - Singles - Card Michael

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
