Story Behind The Song
Written in a time of dark depression and crushing anxiety.
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"
-Romans 8:15

That sacred bravery which the Holy Spirit breathes into the child of God makes him cry Abba Father and in the spirt of adoption he lifts up his face unto God.

Hosea 10:12 New International Version (NIV)

reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers his righteousness on you.

his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Lyrics
Abba Father, I am yours
Standing on the mountain top
0r Crying on the bedroom floor
Abba Father, have Your will
Turn up this hardened ground
By the grace you till
Abba Father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
Abba Father, come walk with me
Along the narrow path
Through the autumn leaves
Oh, Abba Father, come my way
And as I wait for you
Bring your righteous rain
Abba Father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
The Lord is my portion, sings my soul
New every morning and gives me hope
Abba father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
Abba father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
I am yours, Abba Father
