From the recording Here I Am
Abba! Father!
Born a King in David’s land
Known to none… He has come...God made man
A child is born in Bethlehem
Meek and mild… is Mary’s child…A lamb for men
From the desert cried a man
Prepare the way… One has come… to still God’s hand
To Jordan’s river Jesus came
A simple man…God’s only Son… to bear our shame
CH
Listen! Children! Hear the words of my son
Sent to earth…in my name…He has come
Listen! Children! My love will never cease
God of Joy…God of Hope…God of Peace.
(Optional verses)
At the wedding there to dine
From the urns… water changed…into wine
At the pool compassion reined
Spoke his word, cured the sick…Healed the lame,
On the mount 5 thousand fed
A simple prayer…two single fish… five loaves of bread
From the mountain spread the word
Blessed are you… the poor in heart… you are heard
CH - INST
Broke the Bread and blessed the wine
Washed their feet, a lesson learned, for all time
At the rock there prayed the son
Take this cup from my hand your will be done
On the cross a sad lament
Behold the man…all alone…his life is spent
Down below his mother cried
Closed his eyes…bowed his head…and He died
Abba, Father…bless this work I have begun
Through your love…and this blood…they are one
Abba, Father…hear the cry… of your Son
Here on earth…in your name…it is done
