Abba's Little Girl

Rest and be quiet, attend to my voice

I have chosen you

I sought you out

I have watched over you

I have desired to have you very near

You need to know you are precious to me

Know what I have done to possess you

I have rejected my own Son for you

He gave his life willingly for you

That you would know you are accepted

Treasured, delighted in, brooded over

My every thought for you is generous

Only tenderness for you, my daughter

You are part of me

My fingers, my hand in the earth

I have come to live in you, through you

To have pleasure, to bless, to touch

I have designed you for glory

I will hover over you

I will hold you close

I will bring you deep into my chamber

I will gather you into my presence

I will soothe your aching soul

You are worth everything to me

Your love have I sought

Your affection have I deemed precious

I gave everything for you

Now I desire you to receive everything from me

Let me carry all for you

Entrust to me your very breath

Your works, your children

Listen only to my loving voice

Let me show you things you know not of
