Abba
Father you said you'd be with us be with us always
You'd never forsake us but you had to turn away
From your holy law your holy children went astray
Listening to other nations and what they had to say
Didn't wanna walk in truth and follow your way
Had to be stiff-necked stubborn just wouldn't obey
So the curses had to come our Father don't play
Sent us captive on ships by the way he did say
Took us to a land oh so very far away
Where our enemies kept us and endless souls were slayed
You know the place you call the valley
Shadow of death the dry bones stood up one day
Father don't ever leave us don't every forsake me
Give my life to you promise to love you always
Day of Sacrifice... real talk... Judgement Day
I love you abba can I talk to you
Forgive me for my sins so that I can get through
I been praying for a while and I don't gotta clue
Just how to reach my mama and my grandmama too
I'm tryna come correct Lord I'm ain't no fool
I'll be your muse Lord hear me I just wanna be used
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
It's a miracle I've even alive
Some of us didn't make it
They told us we wouldn't even see 25
Hearing that was hard to take in
Even back then I had faith
My grandma gave me butterscotch and sent me on my way
I was hard headed had to learn the hard way
It was cold in the Chi and that's a breeze you can't shake no
I'm tired of dead bodies on the street
So I'm praying to the God who does all things
He said if we repent and turn and keep all His commands
That he would turn His face and He would hear our plea
The prophets spoke of this people
How can we be po' but have an ego
It's time humble down and put away this pride
Bow your head down lift up hands and put em high
I love you abba can I talk to you
Forgive me for my sins so that I can get through
I been praying for a while and I don't gotta clue
Just how to reach my mama and my grandmama too
I'm tryna come correct Lord I'm ain't no fool
I'll be your muse Lord hear me I just wanna be used
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
I remember when I thought that I could save my family
But the message didn't move em they in love with vanity
So I gotta walk alone hope to be a light
Called my mama on the phone and I ain't tryna start a fight
I remember when you told me that you love me am I right
You told me not to be just like my Dad but be a light
I just wanna let you know that I took your advice
You rejected me when all I'm tryna do is save your life
Abba don't leave us no never this day
We promise our life to you and we love you always
Abba don't leave us no never this way
We promise our love to you and we love you always
I love you abba can I talk to you?
Forgive me for my sins so that I can get through
I been praying for a while and I don't gotta clue
Just how to reach my mama and my grandmama too
I'm tryna come correct Lord I'm ain't no fool
I'll be your muse Lord hear me I just wanna be used
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
Show me how to put together Rhythm and Truth
You'd never forsake us but you had to turn away
From your holy law your holy children went astray
Listening to other nations and what they had to say
Didn't wanna walk in truth and follow your way
