He didn’t teach us titles wrapped in fear and distant light
He taught us Abba — simple, warm, and right
Not the thunder of the temple, not the name we dare not say
But the word a child would whisper at the ending of the day
And then He added something we so easily forget
About the Name we carry and the weight it carries yet
Abba — and the Name
Don’t throw it lightly when you speak into the flame
Abba — and the Name
It’s not a weapon, and it’s not a claim
Geheiligt werde dein Name — let it stay
Holy is the Name we’re learning how to say
David didn’t call Him Elohim when shadows walked the land
He called Him JHWH, shepherd, with a staff inside his hand
And the One who taught this prayer later said it clear and plain
I am the Good Shepherd — and He carries every name
So when we speak too quickly, when the anger starts to rise
We’re not just breaking silence — we’re breaking something wise
Abba — and the Name
Don’t throw it lightly when you speak into the flame
Abba — and the Name
It’s not a weapon, and it’s not a claim
Geheiligt werde dein Name — let it stay
Holy is the Name we’re learning how to say
There are many names for mercy, many names for fire and might
But the first one that He gave us still cuts deeper than the night
Abba opens up the doorway, but the Name demands respect
Not because He needs our worship — but because we might forget
Abba — and the Name
It’s not a curse to throw when everything’s in pain
Abba — and the Name
It’s an invitation, not a thing to break in vain
Geheiligt werde dein Name — let it stay
Holy is the Name we’re learning how to say
Abba
And the Name
