(Written by Don Reid) God told Abraham To go to Canaan land And start a brand new life And be a brand new man. He took his wife and nephew And did as he was told But it's hard startin' over At 75 years old. But God said Abraham look For as far as you see All of that land Is a gift from Me. It's a lesson for the learnin' For the likes of you and me Just have a little faith And you'll see. Well Abraham was closin' in On ninety and nine And Sarah bless her heart Wasn't very far behind. Then God stopped in to visit In the heat of the day Said pretty soon they'll be a baby Commin' your way. But Sarah laughed and said no I don't belive that it's true Me with a child With an old man like you. It's a lesson for the learnin' For the likes of you and me Just have a little faith And you'll see. Abraham it's time For a big sacrifice Build yourself a fire And sharpen up your knife. Take your little boy Isaac And put him in the flame And kill him and burn him In God's Holy name. Then God said don't It was only a test You passed with flyin' colors Ahead above the rest. It's a lesson for the learnin' For the likes of you and me Just have a little faith And you'll see. The father of the faithful The leader of the clan He started out as just A simple country man. But God loved Abraham And Abraham loved Him It's a story to remember When your faith is growin' dim. And you get tired and you say Ah, it was different back then But remember that they Were only just men. It's a lesson for the learnin' For the likes of you and me Just have a little faith And you'll see. Just have a little faith And you'll see Just have a little faith And you'll see... |
