| © Linda Allen 1993 words: Linda Melody: "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" J. Wyeth 1813 God, I Cannot Call You Father God, I know you as a spirit Blowing through me like a wind You are the spirit of the water You are the source, you are the end God, I know you as a mother Giving birth to all I am But I cannot call you Father And I know you understand God, how many names we've called you Great Jehovah, Great I Am You are the lion, you're the shepherd Mother Eagle, gentle lamb And Jesus called you "Abba" He knew Joseph's loving hand But I cannot call you Father And I know you understand And now I hear the hymns around me Heavenly Father, Lord of hosts And the child is blessed with water Father, Son and Holy Ghost But how many father's daughters Feel like strangers in this land Silent tears to bear the sorrow God, I know you understand Repeat verse 1 |
