Meaning:

1.
Abba, Father, I come to You
In the name of Your Son.
My Lord and Savior,
I bow before Your holy presence.

2.
I was once far outside the family,
Living as an outsider in the camp.
Yet You gave me the right to call You Father
And made me Your child.

3.
I was lost, like the prodigal son.
I had gone far away
From Your presence
And lived far from You.

4.
But You came searching for me
And brought me back through the precious blood.
You poured out Your abundant grace over me
So that I could live with You
And never wither away.
