TB Joshua - Abba Father Lyrics
Lyrics
Your spirit in my heart
Cries naturally Abba Father
Take my heart away from
Fleshly desires Abba Father
Abba Father, Abba Father
Abba Father, Abba Father
Tu espiratu en mi corozon me hace clamar
Abba Padre
Aparte de mi corozon deseos carnales
Abba Padre
Abba Padre, Abba Padre
Abba Padre, Abba Padre

ABBA FATHER!!! Original Song Composed by T B Joshua
Meaning & Inspiration
"Abba Father," composed by TB Joshua and released on December 15, 2021, offers a profound devotional experience rooted in the intimate address to God as "Abba Father." The song emerges from a deep well of spiritual yearning, a desire for the divine presence to permeate one's innermost being and guide them away from the distractions and temptations of the flesh. The very essence of the song lies in its singular focus on this paternal relationship with God, drawing directly from the New Testament's revelation of this comforting and powerful term. The repeated invocation, "Abba Father," is not merely a refrain; it's a cry of the soul, echoing the Apostle Paul's words in Galatians 4:6, "And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!'" This scriptural connection underscores the song's core message: that through the indwelling Spirit, believers are empowered to approach God with the familiarity and intimacy of a child addressing their beloved father. The plea to have the heart taken away from "fleshly desires" directly aligns with the ongoing spiritual warfare described throughout Scripture, such as in Romans 8:13, which urges believers to "put to death the misdeeds of the body by the Spirit." The inclusion of Spanish lyrics, "Tu espíritu en mi corazón me hace clamar, Abba Padre; aparte de mi corazón deseos carnales, Abba Padre," broadens the song's reach, affirming that this heartfelt prayer transcends linguistic barriers and speaks to a universal human condition of seeking God's purifying presence. The strength of "Abba Father" resides not in complex musical arrangements, but in its unwavering commitment to this central, faith-affirming truth: that in our spirit, we can consistently and powerfully call upon God, finding solace and guidance in His fatherly love and strength to overcome earthly temptations. This song serves as a potent reminder of the transformative power of surrendering our hearts to divine will, enabling us to live lives that honor our Heavenly Father.
