Abba, Father in memory of Prof. Yang, former President of Soochow University

A Weak Voice from a Prodigal Son


Abba, Father in the heaven
Never forgets me.
He loves me indeed.
Abba, Father in the heaven
Clothes me with His care
Just as he cares about a little lily
Forgotten by all indeed.

Abba, Father loves me indeed,
Leading me in whatever need.
In my heart so deep,
Belief so deep;
Abba, father,
You care about my real need.

Abba, father, loves me indeed.
I can not breathe without thee,
I have no joy without thee;
The only reason for me to live,
Is for thee.

Abba, father, I can not breathe without thee;
You sent you son, who was crucified for me.
Salvation indeed is the real essence of thee;
Thus I fly towards the call from thee;
And I will die for thee.
I am also transformed into a little lily for thee,
Blossoming only for thee,
And perishing for the earth created by thee.

Abba, father, I forever love thee.
In the heart so deep,
Like the sea created by thee.
Abba, father, I never forget thee,
Who never forgets me,
And who is willing to live and die for me,
A lily in weed.
