The lyrics to Planetshakers' song Abba Father are a beautiful expression of the singer's love and appreciation for their Father in heaven. The opening lines, "How great is your love for me, that you gave up your son for me," speak to the incredible sacrifice that God made in sending Jesus to die for our sins. The singer is overwhelmed with gratitude for this love and expresses their love back to the Father through the repeated refrain, "Father I love you."
The second verse focuses on the personal nature of God's love. The singer acknowledges that God sees and loves every part of them, even the parts that they may not love or accept themselves. They are comforted by the fact that the love of their Father is "deeper than any love I know" and that His grace is "overwhelming."
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, consists of a declaration of love and praise to the Father. The use of the Aramaic word "Abba" emphasizes the intimate relationship between the singer and their Father in heaven, and the repetition of the phrase "Your love is never-ending" emphasizes the eternal nature of God's love.
Overall, the lyrics of Abba Father are a powerful reminder of the depth and breadth of God's love for us, and an invitation to respond with love and gratitude.
