“Father” by David Nkennor

The chorus, “You are my Father, I am Your Son; There is no doubt that I am Your own,” encapsulates the essence of divine adoption. This mirrors the assurance found in Romans 8:15 (NLT): “So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.” Such affirmation reinforces the believer’s identity as a cherished child of God, dispelling fears and insecurities.

  In the first verse, the imagery of a mother cradling her child—“Like a mother holds her suckling child, You hold me in Your arms”—echoes the tender compassion God extends to His people. Isaiah 66:13 (NLT) reflects this sentiment: “I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.” This portrayal invites believers to find solace and rest in God’s nurturing embrace, especially during times of distress. The second verse delves into the sacrificial love demonstrated at Calvary: “Greater love has no man than this, That You gave it all for me.” This directly references John 15:13 (NLT): “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Reflecting on this profound act of love encourages believers to cultivate gratitude and a deeper commitment to their faith journey.

  The recurring declaration, “I belong, I belong, I belong to You,” serves as a powerful reminder of the believer’s secure position in God’s family. This aligns with 1 John 3:1 (NLT): “See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!” Embracing this truth can inspire confidence, faithfulness, and a desire to live in accordance with God’s will.  

Conclusion

“Father” by David Nkennor is more than a song; it’s a devotional tool that encapsulates the depth of God’s love and the believer’s identity in Him. Its biblically rooted lyrics provide a foundation for reflection, worship, and spiritual growth, making it a valuable addition to personal and communal devotion practices.
