Faith: Are You there?
Where are you, Abraham ?
Can you be found?
Your faith is needed today
Passovers near/ Her firstborn is bound
But Sarah pleads for a stay
Father of wanderers where are you, please!
Your children have lost their way
They stand here at Haran /Prized crossroad of all
Yet dont even want to pray
Father of wanderers/what was your strength?
How could you leave your land?
Where did you get the courage and faith
To follow Shaddais command?
Father of wanderers, Friend of God
Faiths price is a high one to pay
You agonized over your own precious son
Yet offered him up in a day
The sons of that son/ And sons of their sons
Need someone to guide the way
Theyre pitted against each other by one
Whose plan is for ALL to flay
A nation was barren/ But this husbands wife
Did finely give birth to a son
Though great pangs were felt/Joy did abound
When land of Israel was born
It cradled democracy/ Cherished its light
A spirit of hope came to life
One day in near future this son newly born
Eliminates all worldly strife
Its thought that when temple /is finely rebuilt
True peace will then be felt
Good thought, but for naught
No wood, nails, or blocks
Will stand in the place of EL
No blood of a lamb/Nor blood of a ram
Could equal the sacrifice grand
A gift of their best is the final test
For the sons of Abraham
Where are you Abraham? Can you be found?
Your faith is needed today
Passovers near/Her firstborns been bound
But Sarah pleads for a stay
Father of wanderers where are you? Please!
Your children have lost their way
They stand here at Haran/ Prized crossroad of all
Yet dont even want to pray
Voice out of Haran/You call for my help
You ask something I cannot give
Ive been to that crossroad/ I offered my son
It was God / Who allowed him to live
You ask of my strength/ You search for my source
Have you no source of your own?
You ask of my courage/ you ask of my faith
To me?
Do they only belong?
Where is this wanderer? Where is Gods friend?
Spread out / As the sands of the sea
Find those who trust solely in Words of God
It is there/ You will find me
Where is this Abraham? Where is he now?
Can he speak to God, and say,
for fifty, for forty, for thirty, for ten..?
A righteous man, LORD will you save?
The cradle is placed/ in the treetop
About to break is its bough
The pinions of eagle/ Are waiting in wings
To break the childs fall
For faith to be faith
One must see the un-seen
With ones head
With ones heart
With ones hand
For faith to be faith , one must see the un-seen
The faith of a true Abraham
He offered the choicest /Of all he had
He did not hold back his hand
Sons of his sons
You face the same test
Isaacs debt /will be met with the land
To the: Son of his sons
With whom law abides
Seen or un-seen
