(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
