[hometext] => I wrote this when I was 12, it was for a task about Abraham's sacrifice
[bodytext] => One day God appeared to me And told me some bad news He said to sacrifice my son And now I couldn’t choose; Should I sacrifice my son And listen to the Lord? Or should I keep him safe and sound – Not bring him to the sword? We climbed up to the mountain top And Isaac began to ask Where is the lamb for us to kill For this sacrificing task? Then he said “Daddy is it me? That God wants to die? Have I done something terribly wrong? Please tell me – have I?” I answered him; I’m afraid you’re right, But you have not done wrong I will be there to join you soon My life will end before long. I prepared the Altar The blade in my hand I could have backed down now My unsteady hand Waiting, Waiting For God to say “You have proved faithful, So stop, it’s ok!” I didn’t have the guts to kill Isaac – my only son I had to obey God’s word His controlling love had won. Suddenly a voice shone down God’s voice – in fact – to say “Abraham, you‘ve proved your faith Stop now, it’s ok!” I never felt like that before The greatest feeling on earth I cried with joy – rejoice – he lives! We laughed for all it was worth!
