Lyrics
Lord, is it true
Nothing separates me from You?
How could it be
After everything that I've put You through?
After all my running
Chasing love that wasn't
You come all of sudden
Throw Your arms around me
And oh it must be true
that nothing separates me from You
I know, I know, You love me
You always have
You always will
I know, I know, You love me
When I let go
You hold me still
I know, I know
I know, I know
Abba I know, You love me
I know, I know
I know, I know
Abba I know, You love me
Nothing I can do
Could get me any closer to You
You already call me Yours
And I've got nothing to prove
You don't need my worship
But You still deserve it
Every day I'm learning
You're enough
There never was a thing that I could do
To get me any closer to You
I know, I know, You love me
You always have
You always will
I know, I know, You love me
When I let go
You hold me still
I know, I know
I know, I know
Abba I know, You love me
I know, I know
I know, I know
Abba I know, You love me

Meaning & Inspiration
“Abba I Know” explores assurance of divine love after failure and restless searching. The opening questions acknowledge distance, guilt, and the fear that human actions might sever communion with God. That anxiety is answered by the image of God drawing near and holding the returning person. The recurring confession, “I know, I know, You love me,” shifts the song from uncertainty toward trust in a love that does not depend on achievement.
The name “Abba” places this assurance within the language of adoption and intimate belonging found in Galatians 4:6. Romans 8:38-39 also closely supports the claim that nothing can separate God’s people from his love in Christ. The second verse adds that worship cannot purchase nearness or prove worth; belonging is received before it is performed. That idea is consistent with Ephesians 2:8-9, where salvation is described as grace rather than the result of works. Across its repeated lines, the song presents surrender as resting in God’s hold rather than earning his acceptance.
