Test of Faith

A voice from the sky called out loud Take your son to the mountain path

Build an altar up on high Sacrifice under the open sky

Father walked with son by his side In his heart a secret he tried to hide

Wood and fire but no lamp found Quiet steps was the only sound

Will you trust when the shadows loom? Hold your faith when in the gloom

In the test when you're feeling small Can you stand tall? Can you answer the call

Son asked where's the offering we bring Father said God will provide the thing

Bound the boy laid him down to rest Knife held high in a final test

An angel's voice stopped his hand so sure A ram in the thicket stood as secure

Love and faith had been tried and true A promise kept in a moment so new
