Abram's Anthem
You call me
You name me
Abraham
Father of nations
You lead me
You guide me
Further up and further on in
Yonder wicket gate
Exalted father I am
On this long caravan
Flee this land of pagans and Titans
You command me
Winding path
Winding road
Mountain peaks
And valley low
Destination a mirage before me
You guide me
And you see
And you speak
Destination not here
You lead me
You guide me
Further up and further on in
Yonder wicket gate
The God of Abram praise
Who reigns enthroned above
Ancient of Everlasting Days
And God of Love
Yahweh, great I AM
By earth and heaven confessed
I bow and bless the sacred name
Forever blest
The God of Abram praise
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise and seek the joys
At His right hand
I all on earth forsake
Its wisdom, fame and power
And Him my only portion make
My shield and tower
The God that I praise
Is the God that Abraham praised
The God that I praise
Is the God of Abraham
From the land of Haran
Departs of Father of Nations
Flee this land of sinners and backbiters
You instruct me
Desert floor
Desert storm
Grains of sand
And star-born
Everlasting covenant
You cut with me
And you hear
Hear my prayer
But the Promised Land's not here
You lead me
You guide me
Further up and further on in
Yonder wicket gate
You redeem me
You save me
From the fowler's snare and from the
Noisome pestilence
He by Himself hath sworn
I on His oath depend
I shall on eagle wings upborne
To heaven ascend
I shall behold His face
I shall His power adore
And sing the wonders of His grace
Forevermore
The heavenly land I see
With peace and plenty blest
A land of sacred liberty
And endless rest
There milk and honey flow
And oil and wine abound
And trees of life forever grow
With mercy crowned
The God that I praise
Is the God that Abraham praised
My God, I pray
Is the God of Abraham
And You test me
And I test you
You ask me
To offer to you
My precious
Only son
You ask me
To offer to you
The son of my love
You ask me
To reconcile truths
Through the burning fire
Through the burning fire
Just take the knife
Just take the knife
Just take the knife
Just take the knife in hand
Just take the knife
Just take the knife
Just take the knife
Just take the knife in hand
So take the knife in hand
To take the life of my lamb
Just take the knife in hand
To slay his life, I'll be damned
Just take the knife in hand
To take the life of my lamb
Just take the life of the Lamb
Just take His life or be damned
You see me
You saved me
On Mount Moriah
The Lamb is provided
On Mount Moriah
The Lamb is provided
On Mount Moriah
The Lamb is provided
On Mount Moriah
The Lamb is provided
On Mount Moriah
The Lamb is provided
You ask me to reconcile truths
Through the fire
You name me
Abraham
Father of nations
You lead me
You guide me
Further up and further on in
Yonder wicket gate
Exalted father I am
On this long caravan
Flee this land of pagans and Titans
You command me
Winding path
Winding road
Mountain peaks
And valley low
Destination a mirage before me
You guide me
And you see
And you speak
Destination not here
You lead me
You guide me
