Abba Father

Abba Father - Steve Fry

Now that we've prepared ourselves to worship

The spirit can begin to lead us in expressing that worship

In the way that would please God most

And one of the first things

The holy spirit desires to lead us into

Is the very embrace of

The father

For as the word says we

Have been given the spirit of sonship and can cry abba father

In our day that would be like saying Papa God

That's not irreverence that's intimacy with the father

He desires for us to be as little children

Crawl upon his lap and say abba father

One of the acts of worship that pleases

Him most is when

We call to mind different attributes of his character with praise

Like his power his mercy his holiness

He has revealed himself as Jehovah Shammah

The God whose presence is with us

As Jehovah Shalom the God who is our peace

As Jehovah ropheh the Lord who heals us

And he wants us to acknowledge who

He is as we worship

You are my righteousness

You are my righteousness

You are my peace

You are my peace

You are my strength

You are my strength

You are my wisdom

You are my wisdom

You are my joy

You are my joy

Father father Jehovah Shammah

You are the one who's standing near

Father father Jehovah Shalom

You are peace

Jehovah Ropheh

You are my healing Yahweh my God

Abba father abba father

Deep within my soul I cry

Abba father abba father

I will never cease to love you

I will never cease to love you
