Notes About The Poem

When God asked Abraham for his son, He said, your only son, son that you love; which meant, God knew how dear he was to Him. And why wouldn't be He be so precious, when Isaac was the son of promise of whom he was the beginning of the promise seed by which Abraham was to be the father of many nations. I remember the day when my son, my only birth son Randy Emmanuel was born with life threatening injury, who was urgently life flighted to the closest children's hospital; and the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous then, that were sent up, from California to Jacksonville Florida, praying for his life, prevailed. And those same prayers would years later now be, for an entirely new healing. For we rejoiced from the time that God spoke to name him Emmanuel, therefore revealing to us, in confirmation with his grandmother Mary Elizabeth, who came with a Word that God said "Name him Emmanuel." meaning God with us. So, our son was a promised gift from God, and the child He gave me, I would in return dedicate to Him, the son of our answered prayers, son of our promise, my only begotten, our son that we love.

SON THAT I LOVE

SON THAT I LOVE 

When the God of love sought to find one,
there was none worthy to be the unblemished lamb,
He made Himself flesh, and a planted seed
to be born in Bethlehem 

He then mastered His plan, through the ages,
through mankind’s genealogy,
One to carry His seed, a virgin girl,
fulfilling all prophecies.

He showed His stars to Abraham, 
the grains of San by the sea,
And promised him He’d be a father to,
as many born to him as these.

And through His seed, a holy bloodline,
the Promise to be would come,
The eternal Lamb, One Sacrifice, 
His One and Only Son.

He showed His devoted Abraham 
who waited and believed,
the son who was his promised child,
the one finally conceived.

Abraham rejoiced, along with beautiful Sarah
his once doubtful impatient wife
For the child of promise, many nations to follow 
God would now ask for his life.

Give me your son, son that you love,
as a living sacrifice,
Upon an alter I have prepared,
your obedience to me, the price.

And now the heart of a father’s love,
was torn to his soul I am sure,
to give to God his promised son
one born of love so pure.

But the hand of God prevented him,
Abraham! Touch not the child,
And God provided a ram in the brush
trying Abraham’s heart the whole while.

Now I have seen your faithfulness,
not withholding your only son, 
the son of your promise, dear son that you love,
Your only begotten one.

And now you will know the heart of your God,
For neither will I withhold mine,
For as my only Son is given to you,
you gave, not withholding thine.

For now shall you see my faithfulness,
not withholding my Only Son, 
the Son of your promise, dear Son that I love,
My Only Begotten One.
