Abraham's Seed - Genesis 22: 17-18
Having a walk along the shore
so many thoughts in your mind
looking down on the sand
sparkling from the sun so shined
Here’s a picture of the eternal promise
God made to Abraham so long ago
His descendents would be like the sand
shining like heavens jewels all aglow
This would be indeed Abraham’s seed
that God’s spirit would particularly plant
all of His choosing in eternity past
showing His mercy as He does grant
These seeds can’t be numbered
just like sand on the shore
such is God’s unique wonderful love
out of His abundance He does pour
We owe our Lord such a debt
for His magnificent free salvation
to us He’s given His blessed son
so we’re part of the heavenly nation
(walking along the shore recently brought thoughts of the sand and how God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would be as sand of the sea shore.
' I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his[d] enemies, and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.' )Genesis ch. 22vs. 17-18 (ESV)
