By
faith a man named Abraham left all he had behind

He
walked with God, obeyed His call, for a Land, of Promise to find
C D G Em
Am B
But along his way, he found faith hard-- to trust, with never a doubt

by God’s grace, he would try again..., and discover what faith is all
about

A
child would come, and not just one, but as many, as sand on a shore

Yet twenty five years would pass him by..., and Oh! he found it hard to
wait
Verse 3

without God’s help, a son was born, such-sin, has a price to pay

Sarah judged Him faithful who had given His word..., and they held,
their promised son.

Last Verse
Em

Through-out his life Abram learned that faith is more than just belief!
C D G Em Am B
It’s ful-ly trusting in the power of God, for with God, the barren can
conceive
C
D G
Em Am
B
So
upon Mount Moriah, at his fi-nal test, Abra-ham, obeyed God’s plan
Em D B Em
And free-ly gave his promised son..., trusting God would Himself become
the Lamb!
