Why should the Father bother to call us His children?
Why should the Spirit hear it when we pray?
Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?
It's all because of what the Son has done
Once we were lost out on the ocean
With no direction or devotion
Tossed about by every wind and wave
Now we are in the world not of it
We can surely rise above it
Because the Lord has risen from the grave
And we cry Abba Father, Abba Father...
Once we were strangers from the promise
We were doubters worse than Thomas
Until the Spirit opened up our eyes
Now He has offered us adoption
And we have taken up the option
To be His family eternally
