Have A Little Faith

Well, God got things back together

And the world started growing again

Noah's sons had sons

And a descendant of Shem's

Was a man called 'Abram'

God hand-picked him, made him the leader of his race

The founder of his religion and changed his name to Abraham

His trust in God was like nothing you've ever seen before

The father of the faithful, the father of all that believe

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

"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 above 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

Just have a little faith and you'll see

Just have a little faith and you'll see
