HERE AM I

(Jacob)

Joseph down in Egypt said, 

  “Bring my father here. 

God has raised me up this day;

   You have no need to fear.”

Jacob took his journey then,

   Stopped along the way.

He came unto Beersheba

   To worship and to pray.

In the visions of the night,

    Dispelling fear and doubt,

Jacob clearly heard God’s voice,

   And answered with a shout.

“Here am I,” his eager cry,

   Knowing God would hear.

Listening to his Savior’s voice,

  His promises were clear.

I will bring you back again,

    Greater then before.

Jacob trusted in God’s Word,

   He couldn’t ask for more.
