Lyrics:

He roamed the desert looking for a home
The only thing he knew was God said go
He didn't question when or why or where
He knew Jehovah was already there

Chorus:
Father Abraham, you trusted God no matter the plan
Father Abraham, all you needed was a word from the Great I Am
Father Abraham, you always kept God's promises in your hand
Father Abraham, I've always wanted to step out on faith, now I know I can
Thank you father Abraham

(interlude) (Abraham, Father Abraham)

A holy angel spoke about a son
Sarai laughed she said it couldn't be done
But she and Abraham chose to trust the Lord
And nine months later their baby boy was born

Repeat Chorus

(interlude) (Abraham)

Your only son was to be sacrificed
What would you do, what would you tell your wife?
You knew you had to do what God had said
By faith in God you knew he'd come back from the dead

(God loves you) How much God must have loved you at that moment (He understood what you're going through)
(A Sacrifice) Knowing soon He'd have to do the same (it's the only thing that He could do)
(Blessed Son) Through His son you were blessed
Your faith was counted as righteousness
Through His Son the world is saved (A son would save the world)

Repeat Chorus

(interlude) (Father Abraham, Father Abraham, Father Abraham, Father)
