Abba Father, We Adore You
Posted: June 21, 2009
In celebration of our ultimate Father's day…
Abba Father, we adore You.
We Your children sing Your praise.
You are worthy to be trusted,
merciful in all Your ways.
Lifting us when we have stumbled,
holding us when we are weak,
whispering how much You love us
when our shame won't let us speak.
Abba Father, we are grateful
for the gift of Christ Your Son
in Whose death and resurrection
life eternal was begun.
You adopted us as family,
deemed us worthy of Your love
and You promised to provide us
with the joys we've long dreamed of.
Abba Father, we acknowledge
how much we depend on You
when blind-sided by misfortune,
when we don't know what to do.
Your perspective bids us focus
on faith's outcomes we can't see.
And Your unrelenting comfort
calms our raw anxieties.
tune: Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
