ABBA FATHER
a spiritual intimacy song
of adoration

 

In Jesus we come to You.
In our hearts Your Spirit moves.
We Your little children
Come in adoration.

Abba Father (Abba Father)
Draw me nearer (draw me nearer)
Hold me closer (hold me closer)

Abba Father (Abba Father)

Abba Father (Abba Father)
Draw me nearer (draw me nearer)
Hold me closer (hold me closer)
Abba Father (Abba Father)

Just sitting here at your feet,
Quite contented just to be
Resting in your presence,
Safe, secure, protected.

(chorus)

History & Testimonies

From 1986 to 1999, Rev. Wayne Anderson led a series
of spiritual intimacy seminars at Crossroads in Framingham. 
Among the topics covered were  "Abba Father"
"Grace, Faith and Focus" and "Silence, Solitude and Prayer". 
This song, and many others, were inspired by those teachings.

The first verse was started during a Wayne Anderson seminar
and later completed at my home in Milford.
The second verse was written 9/29/89
while driving through Ashland MA.

(Ralph Merrifield)

 

I was looking for songs for my Sunday School class... these sound very interesting. 
 I sing some of them during devotion services.  
I am a Sunday School teacher and deaconess in a Baptist Church
 
I use " Center Of My Soul"... it is truly beautiful.  Also " Abba Father",
" Bringing The Presence Of Jesus", " Holy, Holy, Holy" and  " Open My Eyes".

(Cora,  from Massachusetts)


"This one is very useful.  We love it..."
(Philip, from South Africa)

Recorded on:    

"In The Knowledge Of Him"

"Closest Friends"
