I Am the Lord, the God of Your Father Abraham - Genesis 28: 13-15
God here speaks revealing all of Himself
with authority and certainty, real conviction
promising His people that He's their God
providing their own land showing their direction
No memory can count all your descendants
for it'll be spread the world over
all the way from coast to coast
this makes you feel truly resplendent
This brings to all people's real blessing
sent down from heaven above no less
for God has declared that this is so
the creator Himself did so confess
God promises something no one else can
to be with His people always to watch
with His careful eye upon them always
bringing them back home all His plan
The Lord laid down His promised plan
not to leave them till all was done
all that the Lord had promised to do
this a prerunner done by God's son
(There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”)
Genesis 28: 13-15
