Have A Little Faith
________________________
God told Abraham to go to Canaan land — And start a brand new life and be a brand new man. — He took his wife and nephew and did as he was told, — But it's hard startin' over at seventy-five years old. — But God said, "Abraham, look, for as far as you see, — All of that land is a gift from Me." — It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me. — Just have a little faith and you'll see.
Well, Abraham was closin' in on ninety and nine, — And Sarah, bless her heart, wasn't very far behind. — When God stopped in to visit in the heat of the day. — Said, "Pretty soon, there'll be a baby comin' your way." — But Sarah laughed and said, "No, I don't believe that it's true. — Me with a child, with an old man like you?" — It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me. — Just have a little faith and you'll see.
God said, "Abraham, it's time for a big sacrifice. — Build yourself a fire and sharpen up your knife. — Take your little boy, Isaac, and put him in the flame. — And kill him and burn him in God's Holy name," — Then God said, "Abraham, don't! It was only a test. — You passed with flyin' colors ahead of the rest." — It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me. — Just have a little faith and you'll see.
The father of the faithful, the leader of the clan; — He started out as just a simple country man. — But God loved Abraham, and Abraham loved Him. — It's a story to remember when your faith is growin' dim. — And you get tired and you say, "Ah, it was different back then.” — But remember that they were only just men. — It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me — Just have a little faith and you'll see.
