Abraham's Song by of Chords of a Man © 2015 MDFritz Records • Album: God Meant It for Good | Written by Matthew David Fritz • Artist page: http://chordsofaman.com • Lyrics: • Based on Genesis 12-13; Hebrews 11:8-19 • Go from your land to a land that I will show; • And to all those who would bless you I will bless; • And to all those who would curse you, know that they will then be cursed; • You’re the blessing of the families of the earth. • When we set out from Haran I was seventy five; • We left our homeland never to return. • And I journeyed toward the mountain, pitched my tent above the plain; • Built an altar and I called upon His name. • If I die in faith to realize • All God’s promises unsent, • My confession is I live the life • Of the altar and the tent. • In my journey we came to a place my tent had been; • Though the tent had moved the altar still remained. • With my brother’s son along the way a conflict did arise. • How can we as brothers live with any strife? • If you take the left, I’ll take the right; • Choice is not for what my life is meant. • My confession is I live the life • Of the altar and the tent. • Lift up your eyes, look from where you stand; • To the north and south and west and toward the east. • Rise up and walk throughout this land; • All its length and breadth I’ll give you and your seed. • If I long for what I’ve left behind, • How could my heart be content? • Shame is not in those who live the life • Of the altar and the tent. • In my fullness of age, God gave me a son; • 'Twas the only heav’nly promise I received. • Yet the altar still awaited since one’s faith is never done; • Only God supplies the boldness to believe. • If by faith I never compromise • Sage design and providence, • God my portion would sustain my life • Of the altar and the tent. • If I long for what I’ve left behind, • How could my heart be content? • Shame is not in those who live the life • Of the altar and the tent. • If you take the left, I’ll take the right; • Choice is not for what my life is meant. • My confession is I live the life • Of the altar and the tent. • Go from your land to a land that I will show.
