Abba

In my darkest hours of the hurt and pain

I was carrying the heartbreak, drowning in the shame

I was lost and wounded, broken and confused

Trembling in the fear, battered and bruised

But you stepped into the shadow, you reached into the night

You came down to rescue me and make the darkness bright

Abba, you are faithful, forgiving, full of grace

You took what was broken and held me in your embrace

You comforted my spirit, you showed your love to me

You healed my wounded heart and finally set me free

The things that were supposed to end me, you turned them all around

Oh Abba, you are merciful, in you my peace is found

When I was so heavy, wandering and lost

You poured out your mercy, no matter what the cost

You looked upon my weakness, you saw my every tear

And gently you delivered me from all my deepest fear

You took the shattered pieces, the things I couldn't hide

And showed me that your loving arms are always open wide

Abba, you are faithful, forgiving, full of grace

You took what was broken and held me in your embrace

You comforted my spirit, you showed your love to me

You healed my wounded heart and finally set me free

The things that were supposed to end me, you turned them all around

Oh Abba, you are merciful, in you my peace is found

You raised me from the ashes, you called me from the night

You gave me back my beauty, you gave me love and light

You took what was in ruins and made it something new

I owe my whole existence, Abba, just to you

Abba, you are faithful, forgiving, full of grace

You took what was broken and held me in your embrace

You comforted my spirit, you showed your love to me

You healed my wounded heart and finally set me free

The things that were supposed to end me, you turned them all around

Oh Abba, you are loving, my solid, holy ground
