Sarah, partner of Avraham
the strength behind Isaac
Her trademark, hospitality
her strength, spirituality
In Haran, on the way to Cana'an
scores of her visitors saw the light
There is One, only One, God in the world
Sarah and Avraham set former pagans aright
In the terebinths of Mamre
angels foretold she'd bear a son
At age 90 she could scarcely believe
that she would raise Isaac with Avraham
Yet raise Isaac she did, into a great man
As courageous as his dad, when his journey began
Isaac's Faith tested at age 37, bound up for sacrifice
Thanks to Sarah's strength, ready to pay any price
