Have a Little Faith

(Written by Don Reid)



God told Abraham

To go to Canaan land

And start a brand new life

And be a brand new man.



He took his wife and nephew

And did as he was told

But it's hard startin' over

At 75 years old.



But God said Abraham look

For as far as you see

All of that land

Is a gift from Me.



It's a lesson for the learnin'

For the likes of you and me

Just have a little faith

And you'll see.



Well Abraham was closin' in

On ninety and nine

And Sarah bless her heart

Wasn't very far behind.



Then God stopped in to visit

In the heat of the day

Said pretty soon they'll be a baby

Commin' your way.



But Sarah laughed and said no

I don't belive that it's true

Me with a child

With an old man like you.



It's a lesson for the learnin'

For the likes of you and me

Just have a little faith

And you'll see.



Abraham it's time

For a big sacrifice

Build yourself a fire

And sharpen up your knife.



Take your little boy Isaac

And put him in the flame

And kill him and burn him

In God's Holy name.



Then God said don't

It was only a test

You passed with flyin' colors

Ahead above the rest.



It's a lesson for the learnin'

For the likes of you and me

Just have a little faith

And you'll see.



The father of the faithful

The leader of the clan

He started out as just

A simple country man.



But God loved Abraham

And Abraham loved Him

It's a story to remember

When your faith is growin' dim.



And you get tired and you say

Ah, it was different back then

But remember that they

Were only just men.



It's a lesson for the learnin'

For the likes of you and me

Just have a little faith

And you'll see.



Just have a little faith

And you'll see

Just have a little faith

And you'll see...
