Abba Father Lyrics

Somebody feels hopeless
Somebody despairs
Somebody walks a path alone
Watching others walk around in pairs
Somebody's in the street now
Somebody's in doubt
Somebody has no place to go
Somebody cries out, saying

Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me higher
Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me home

Somebody is hungry
Somebody's in pain
Somebody sleeps alone in fear
Somebody's in shame
Somebody needs a friend to lean on
Somebody's not there
Somebody's looking at the end
Somebody's in prayer, praying

Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me higher
Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me home

Abba, Father, take us home
Abba, Father, take us home
Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me higher
Abba (Abba), Father, take me home
Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me higher
Abba (Abba), Father (Father), take me home

Take me home
Take me home, Father
Father, please, take me home
Abba, Father


Scriptural Reference:

"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." Romans 8:15-17 (1-17 cited on insert)
"Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit woh calls out, 'Abba, Father.'" Galatians 4:6
