I wrote this after reading Genesis 22. It is truly amazing how Abraham trusted and believed God, and how God provided the sacrifice. God has provided Jesus for us! He provided the Lamb that Abraham told his son about!
Tested by the Great "I am,"
To the land of Moriah I must go.
There I will sacrifice a ram,
But little did I know.
I was told to kill my son,
the one whom I love much.
I trusted my God and did not run,
Confident in His Word's touch.
"Where is the Lamb?" I am asked.
The Lord will provide I say.
I raise the knife to finish my task,
Oh the pain in this day!
God stopped me and provided a ram,
Later Jesus came and was the perfect lamb!
Abraham said the Lord will provide,
Provide He did indeed!
My sin had caused me to pick a side,
A side where I would be judged for my deed.
I deserve death and pain,
Hell should be my destination.
I am far worse than Cain,
Slavery and guilt my indication.
But God stepped in and took my place,
And sacrificed His Son for my sake!
His risen Son now pleads my case,
Jesus says "All your sin I take!"
God provided like Abraham said,
JESUS IS ALIVE, HE IS NOT DEAD!
