Abba Padre (part. Oasis Ministry)

Montesanto's 'Abba Padre' is a deeply spiritual song that explores the Christian concept of God as a loving father. The song, featuring Oasis Ministry, is a worship piece that expresses the singer's gratitude for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross and the resulting eternal life granted to believers. The lyrics reflect a personal and intimate relationship with God, emphasizing the transformative power of divine love and grace.

The term 'Abba Padre' is an Aramaic phrase that translates to 'Father' in English, and it is used in the New Testament of the Bible to denote a close, personal relationship with God. The repetition of 'Abba Padre' throughout the song serves as a mantra, calling out to God in a deep yearning for connection. The song's verses recount the sacrifice of Jesus, acknowledging the price paid for humanity's redemption and the adoption of believers into God's family. This adoption is celebrated as a profound change, allowing the singer to claim a place within God's eternal kingdom.

The song concludes with a spoken word section that reinforces the message of spiritual adoption and inheritance. It cites biblical passages that affirm believers as children of God, no longer slaves but heirs to the kingdom through Jesus Christ. This theological affirmation is set to music, inviting listeners to join in the proclamation of their faith. 'Abba Padre' is not just a song but a declaration of identity and belonging in the Christian faith, and Montesanto, along with Oasis Ministry, uses this musical expression to inspire and unite believers in worship.
