""Abba, Abba, hear us, "" we cry;
God's spirit cries in us
and proclaims us slaves no more,
but heirs, the heirs of God.
All creation waits, eager and longing;
soon God's children, glorious and free,
will be revealed.
With the whole creation we cry,
groan as in childbirth.
Soon all sin, all death will be nor more;
we shall be free.
All creation waits, eager and longing;
for the glorious promise of God
we wait and pray.
As we pray, the Spirit breathes signs,
sighs far too deep for words;
and the God who searches
every heart hears all our prayer.
All creation waits, eager and longing;
patiently we wait, for in all
God works for good.
