El Shaddai.

Verse 1:
--------- Dm-----------G
Through your love and through the ram,
-------C--------F
you saved the son of Abraham,
--------Bb-------------E/D
through the power of your hand
------Am--------A
you turned the sea into dry land.
--------- Dm-----------G
To the outcast on her knees
-------C--------F
you were the God who really sees,
--------Bb-------------E/D--------C
and by your might you set your children free.

Verse 2:
Through the years you made it clear
that the time of Christ was near,
though the people couldn't see
what Messiah ought to be.
Though your Word contained the plan,
they just could not understand,
your most awesome work was done in the frailty of your Son

ABBA FATHER - MICHAEL CARD - CHORDS

Am----------------G-------------------D
Until Your Son called out to me I was lost
F-------------------G-------------------C
For years my cradle swung above the grave
F-------------------G--------------------Am
It is a wondrous thing to be adopted by a king
Bb----------------E--------------------Am------G
To know a love that crowns and crucifies
Am----------------G-------------------D
When Your Spirit moves I breath a prayer to You
F-------------------G-------------------C
A cry not from my mouth but from the heart
F-------------------G--------------------Am
Because the Spirit came, I can use Your holy name
Bb----------------E--------------------Am------G
The tender name a son could only use
G-----C--------G------Am
Abba Father, Abba Father
-------------Dm--------------G
Since that word became Your covenant name
G-----C-----------------Am
Abba Father I cry out to You
F-----------------------------G
Knowing You will hear my plea
G--------Am
For You've adopted me

Your Spirit of adoption came and filled my heart
To smile upon the earth behind my eyes
Urging me to give, teaching me to live
To show the family likeness of Your love
So Jesus has become for me a brother Lord
The special son who died to set us free
His cross for me has won the right to be Your son
A blessed son You'd never cast aside

Abba Father, Abba Father
Since that word became Your covenant name
Abba Father I cry out to You
Knowing You will hear my plea

For You've adopted me
