Lyrics
Abraham was a righteous man,
Told by God to leave his homeland.
God said, "Oh, ya gotta go;
Go to Canaan and you will know."
A leap of faith, he kept on track
He obeyed and he didn't look back.
God said, "Take all ya got,"
Even took his nephew, Lot.
Sarah came, his lovely wife;
All he owned, he took that night.
He took his sheep and his cattle, too.
God said, "Abe, I will bless you."
Chorus:
God said, "I will bless you
Everywhere you go.
All of your descendants
Will grow and grow and grow."
God said, "I will bless you
More than you will know.
I'll build a great nation
From seeds that you sow."
So Abe said, "How can this be?
A great nation will come through me?
Sarah and I are now old and gray."
To their surprise, God said that day,
"Your womb will be filled with joy."
She laughed, but she had a baby boy.
(Repeat Chorus)
So don't you worry; don't you fret.
God's not done, no, not yet.
What God says, He will do.
His promises are always true.
So don't ever laugh and say, "Not me."
He'll do things you can't believe.
(Repeat Chorus)
Abraham was a righteous man,
Yes, he followed God's own plan.
Abraham was a righteous man,
Yes, he followed God's own plan.
Abraham was a righteous man,
Yes, he followed God's own plan.
