Why Should the Father Bother?

Words and Music by Bob Hartman

on Washes Whiter Than by Petra

Copyright 1979 Dawn Treader Music

Intro: F Bb/F C/F Bb/F F Bb/F C/F Bb/F

(Chorus)

F Edim Dm C Bb Am F Bb F Bb/F C/F Bb/F

Why should the Father bother to call us his children?

F Edim Dm C Bb Am F Bb C7

Why should the Spirit hear it when we pray?

F Edim Dm C Bb Am F Bb Am Dm C

Why should the Father bother to be concerned with all our needs?

F Edim Dm C Bb Am Bb C F Bb/F C/F Bb/F F Bb/F

It's all because of what the Son has done

C/F Bb/F Bb F/A

Once we were lost out on the ocean

C7 Bb

With no direction or devotion

F/A Bb C7

Tossed about by every wind and wave

Bb F/A

Now we are in the world, not of it

C7 Dm Dm/C

And we can surely rise above it

Bb Bb/A Gm7 C7sus4 F Bb/F C/F Bb/F

Because the Lord has risen from the grave

(Chorus)

C/F Bb/F Bb F/A

Once we were strangers from the promise

C7 Bb

We were doubters worse than Thomas

F/A Bb C7

Till the Spirit opened up our eyes

Bb F/A

Now he has offered us adoption

C7 Dm Dm/C

And we have taken up the option

Bb Bb/A Gm7 C7sus4 F Bb/F C/F Bb/F

To be his family eternally

(Chorus)

F Edim Dm C Bb Am Bb C F Bb/C C F

It's all because of what the Son has done
