Abba Father, Abba Father, my heart cries unto thee

Abba Father, Abba Father, you alone hear my plea.

When I don’t have the words to say, you know my every need.

When I don’t know just how to pray, your Spirit intercedes.

~

Abba Father, Abba Father, my heart cries unto thee.

Abba Father, Abba Father, you alone hear my plea.

~

When I can’t seem to find my way, you draw me to your side.

When I reach out in childlike faith, your Spirit always guides.

~

Abba Father, Abba Father, my heart cries unto thee.
Abba Father, Abba Father, you alone hear my plea.

~

When I am burdened down with care, you gently comfort me.

When I surrender all in prayer, your Spirit gives sweet peace.

~

Abba Father, Abba Father, my heart cries unto thee.

Abba Father, Abba Father, you alone hear my plea.

~

You alone hear my plea.

Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Romans 8:26,27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

There are so many times when I really don’t know just how to pray or what I should pray for. All I know is that I want God’s way and will in my life, and in the lives of those I love. It’s such a comfort to know that I can go to God in silence, and he will search my heart and his Spirit will make intercession for me.
