'Cause you breathed my existence
You're the one who holds my heart
You made me out of nothing
Fashioned every part
God, You breathed my existence
You're the one who holds my heart
You made me out of nothing
Fashioned every part
Always watching over me
Father, I adore
Father, I am Yours
Joy of my heart, forever You are
My Father
Every breath every heartbeat
In the hollow of Your head
Every step how I need You
The lifter of my head
Always watching over me
Father, I adore
Father, I am Yours
Joy of my heart, forever You are
My Father
Before the dawn of time
Throughout eternity
You called me as Your own
A child of majesty
So I will lift my hands
And I will glorify Your Name
Your name, God
Before the dawn of time
Throughout eternity
You called me as Your own
A child of majesty
So I will lift my hands
And I will glorify Your Name
Oh, Your name, Lord
Father, I adore
Father, I am Yours
Joy of my heart, forever You are
Father, I adore
Father, I am Yours
Joy of my heart, forever You are
My Father
"Father" by PlanetShakers is a powerful worship song that beautifully captures the deep love and adoration we have for our Heavenly Father. The song reminds us of God's role as our creator, sustainer, and the one who holds our hearts. It is a declaration of our dependence on Him and our gratitude for His constant presence in our lives.
The lyrics of the song emphasize the intimate relationship we have with God as our Father. It acknowledges that God breathed our existence and fashioned every part of us. This concept is rooted in the biblical truth found in Genesis 2:7, where it says, "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." This verse speaks of God's intentionality and craftsmanship in creating humanity, and highlights our unique connection to Him.
The song also expresses the joy and delight we find in being children of God. It exclaims, "Father, I adore, Father, I am Yours, Joy of my heart, forever You are, My Father." These words echo the sentiments found in Psalm 16:11, where it says, "You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." This verse reminds us that our true joy and fulfillment come from being in the presence of our Heavenly Father.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of awe and reverence towards God. It acknowledges His sovereignty and His constant watchful eye over us. This aligns with Psalm 121:5-8, which says, "The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." These verses remind us that God is always watching over us, protecting us, and guiding us through life.
The bridge of the song emphasizes our identity as children of God. It proclaims, "Before the dawn of time, throughout eternity, You called me as Your own, a child of majesty." This echoes the truth found in Ephesians 1:5, which says, "He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will." As believers, we are adopted into God's family and have the privilege of being called His children.
Overall, "Father" by PlanetShakers is a beautiful song that reminds us of the deep love and connection we have with our Heavenly Father. It speaks to the intimate relationship we have with Him and the joy we find in His presence. Through its heartfelt lyrics, the song encourages us to adore and worship God as our Father, acknowledging His role as our creator, sustainer, and protector. It is a powerful anthem of praise and surrender to our Heavenly Father.
