Poem
The Lord gave Abraham a promise and a son Through Sarah who conceived and laughed with everyone For Isaac was the name in which all his seed is called And his faith was evident and God's power shown to all When He spoke to Abraham, "Sacrifice your only son In the mountain of your Lord, offer up this innocent one." Sarah must have had her doubts about what her husband heard But Abraham said, "We will return, I beleive the promised word." And on the journey of three days to the place of God's desire Isaac carried his own wood, Abraham, the knife and fire But then Isaac said, "my father", who answered, "Here I am" "Here is the fire and the wood, but tell me where is the lamb?" The Lord will provide A Lamb to sacrifice So you won't have to die He'll give another life Now lift up your eyes It shall be seen from upon high That the Lord will provide A Lamb to sacrifice (Chorus I) And they came to the place, he built an alter there Then in order laid the wood as Isaac stood and stared Yet, he didn't say a word, although he could He let his father bind him and lay him on the wood For Abraham would receive him in a figure as it's said Believing God could raise Him up, even from the dead. As tears rolled down his face, he quickly raised the knife But the angel called his name, "Abraham! Don't take his life! For now I know you fear the Lord to offer up your firstborn." Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns And he hurried to the bush and sacrificed the ram Instead of his own son, who wondered, "Where is the lamb?" (Chorus I) Like Abraham our heavenly Father gave his only son To a world who laughed and scorned and bruised this innocent one Who never said a word as he carried his wooden cross To a place called Calvary, the way made for the lost He was nailed and hung upon that tree, He suffered, bled and died And was lain within a tomb but in three days He was revived Just as Abraham by faith spoke of the lamb God would provide Jesus is the Lamb, the Lamb of God was sacrificed The Lord did provide The Lamb to sacrifice So none would have to die He gave us His own life Now lift up your eyes Your Redemption draweth nigh And see our God did provide The Lamb who is alive! 2 X's (Chorus II) {fade} {Then in a strong chorus} Jehovah Jireh, my Provider In the mount of God it shall be provided Jehovah Jireh, my Provider In the mount of God He will provide
