Abba

“Abba, Father,” Jesus said, “Take this cup from me”

whilst praying in the garden of Gethsemane.
“I know that all things are possible for You
and that there is nothing that You cannot do.”

“Yet not what I will but what You will,” He said
as in deep anguish great drops of blood He bled.
Then He went on to complete salvations plan
agreed by the Godhead before time began.

“Abba, Father,” like Jesus we too can cry
as we pour out our soul to the Lord on high.
For sons and daughters of Mighty God are we
and never more in slavery shall we be.

The Spirit of Christ is dwelling in our heart
and causes all the dread and fear to depart.
For our Lord Jesus drained that bitter cup dry
when He bowed His head upon the cross to die.

“Abba Father,” the Spirit has testified
that we’re the children for whom He has died.
We’re heirs of God and co-heirs with Jesus Christ
sharing in His suffering and sacrifice.

No more as orphans for the Father we know
we’re in His family where life's riches flow.
Led by the Spirit we gaze upon His face
and His love floods into our soul by His grace.

We are sons and daughters of the living God
when we walk the same pathway that Jesus trod.
We’re saved by His grace and purchased by His blood
and trusting in the promises of our God.
