Petra - Why Should the Father Bother? lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Hartman

(Chorus)

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,

And we can surely rise above it

Because the Lord has risen from the grave

And we cry, 'Abba, Father'

'Abba, Father', 'Abba, Father'

'Abba, Father', 'Abba, Father'

'Abba, Father'

Once were strangers from the promise

We were doubters worse than Thomas

'Til the Spirit opened up our eyes

Now He has offered us adoption

And we have taken up the option

To be His family eternally
