God Will Provide

Abraham and Sarah awaited the promise

But they laughed at the premise

With the passing of time

They planned their own plan

And Ishmael began

But God was faithful

And Laughter came after

Hagar and Ishmael were sent away

For they could not stay

Abraham & Laughter were sent on a trip too

But theirs was a test of trust to obey

Peter- Do you love Me more than these?

Sacrifice Isaac, the one that you love

In a place that I please

Father of many nations, but how?

Stars of the sky?  Oh wow!

Dust of the earth?

Sand on the shore!

I BELIEVE!

I will do as You say

In a test of trust to obey

Isaac saw the wood and the fire

But where is the sacrifice? Isaac would say

Only trust and obey

God will provide the way

So, Isaac laid down

And Abraham lifted the knife

They were found faithful

And God did stay Isaac’s life

No one would die that day

And the ram was provided to him

Because he was willing to give

His child of promise away

In a test of trust to obey

God the Father followed the same plan

But THIS time, there would be no ram

The knife would not be stayed

God’s beloved Son would give His life away

A perfect lamb, a spotless life

Son of Man, Second Adam

That was the only way

Thy will be done

And justice was served

Mercy observed

Grace established

Payment for sin remitted

Remission the mission

Sin’s debt was paid!

Tetelestai!

But a gift or a pardon must be accepted

In the image of God, you mustn’t reject Him

Admit that you’ve sinned and intend no more

Believe that Jesus is the Son

Believe in what He’s done

Confess that Jesus is Christ YOUR Lord

Then righteousness will be imputed to you

Nothing earned, nothing deserved!

Payment has been served!

Paid in full!

Ledger wiped clean!

Propitiation atoned!

Sanctified and redeemed!

Salvation decided!

By His mercy and grace

God has provided!
