HERE AM I

(Abraham)

One day God spoke to Abraham, 

   and asked he face a test, 

To offer up unto the Lord,

   that which he loved the best.

Abraham cried out in faith,

   “Behold, here I am.”

His heart was willing to obey,

  whatever was God’s plan.

He didn’t question God that day;

  he didn’t weep or cry.

He took his son, and walked by faith,

   knowing that he would die.

Abraham believed by faith,

   that God would raise his son.

He told the men “they” would return,

   and said, “Thy will be done.”

Isaac saw the wood and knife;

  the lamb was not in sight.   

His father said God would provide;

  he trusted in His might.

When the knife was raised at last,

   a voice called out his name.

And Abraham cried, “Here am I;”

   his faith remained the same.

A sacrifice was made that day;

   the Lord, He did provide.

A man of faith met God’s test,

  a pattern for the Bride.
