God's Man, Faithful Abraham

(Scriptures: Genesis 12:1-7; 17:1-8,15-21; 22:1-19; Hebrews 11:8-12,17-19; Romans 4:16-21)

You must leave your country, go where I will show you;
This was God's commandment, told to Abraham.
Though it wasn't easy, Abraham was faithful.
God's man, faithful Abraham

You'll have many offspring, this will be their country;
This was God's own covenant, made with Abraham.
Christ was his descendant, a blessing to all nations.
God's man, faithful Abraham

You shall have your own son, when you are a hundred;
This was God's own promise, made to Abraham.
Abraham believed God, and named the child Isaac.
God's man, faithful Abraham

Make your son an offering, slay him on an altar;
This was how God tested, faithful Abraham.
Abraham was willing, so God delivered Isaac.
God's man, faithful Abraham
