and showers his righteousness on you.

Lyrics
Abba Father, I am yours
Standing on the mountain top
0r Crying on the bedroom floor
Abba Father, have Your will
Turn up this hardened ground
By the grace you till
Abba Father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
Abba Father, come walk with me
Along the narrow path
Through the autumn leaves
Oh, Abba Father, come my way
And as I wait for you
Bring your righteous rain
Abba Father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
The Lord is my portion, sings my soul
New every morning and gives me hope
Abba father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
Abba father, I am yours
I am yours, Abba Father
I am yours, Abba Father
