In theophany form the Most High came
To Mamre to speak to Abraham
The Lord said to him a son would be born
In the tent behind them, Sarah laughed in scorn
At ninety years old, Sarah bore the dear son
Who was promised by the eternal One
They named the child Isaac, he grew and was weaned
God made a request which terrible seemed
God wanted an offering, but not a lamb
Sacrifice Isaac, He told Abraham
Though Abraham loved Isaac, he loved God more
And of God’s promise Abraham was sure
Abraham went to the land of Moriah
And Isaac carried the wood for the fire
On the mountain they built an altar and then
Isaac lay on the altar in place of a lamb
When God saw Abraham lift up the knife
God told Abraham to spare Isaac’s life
In the thickets behind them was caught a ram
God’s provided burnt offering for Abraham
As Abraham trusted when put to the test
That through Isaac, his seed would be countless and blessed
Trust God in the midst of the storm and you’ll see
The glory of God and have victory
