Based upon my experience with my own father, it has been really hard for me to relate to God as my Father. This song is my prayer and my proclamation of that truth over my own life.
lyrics
You are my Father
Romans 8:1
Intro: Dm F C Am (2x)
F C
You know where I come from; You know where I have been
G Am
Yet you couldn’t wait to take me with you!
F C
In my rebellion, against You I Sin
G Am
Yet in your mercy you draw me back to you
F G
You draw me back to you
CHORUS
Am F
You adopted me and called son
C
You gave me your name, made me yours
G Am
You are my father, yes you are.
F
In the death and the rise of Christ
C
You redeemed my soul and gave me life
G F C G
You are my father, yes you are.
F C
You know my thoughts, and their selfish ways
G Am
So you paid the price to renew my mind
F C
You searched my heart, and found wicked ways
G Am
So you granted your word to be my living-guide
F G
You word isguide
CHORUS
Am F
You adopted me and called son
C
You gave me your name, made me yours
G Am
You are my father, yes you are.
F
In the death and the rise of Christ
C
You redeemed my soul and gave me life
G F C G
You are my father, yes you are.
F C G F C G
There is no condemnation for those born again in Christ!
