Lyrics Why Should The Father Bother - Petra

Why should the Father bother to call us His children?
Why should the Spirit hear it when we pray?
Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?
It's all because of what the Son has done

Once we were lost out on the ocean with no direction or devotion
Tossed about by every wind and wave
Now we are in the world not of it and we can surely rise above it
Because the Lord has risen from the grave

Why should the Father bother to call us His children?
Why should the Spirit hear it when we pray?
Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?
It's all because of what the Son has done

And we cry "Abba Father, Abba Father
Abba Father, Abba Father"
We cry "Abba Father, Abba Father
Abba Father, Abba Father"

Once we were strangers from the promise
We were doubters worse than Thomas till the Spirit opened up our eyes
Now he has offered us Adoption
And we have taken up the option to be His family eternally

Why should the Father bother to call us His children?
Why should the Spirit hear it when we pray?
Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?
It's all because of what the Son has done
It's all because of what the Son has done
