Of such commandments from above
Obedience – a stream of love
Presented with abundant choice
Abraham obeyed God’s voice
A promised child of such a time
A standing test now would remind
The passing time yet would not falter
Offered gifts upon the altar
To Moriah, a land away
The sacrifice yet to obey
A calling forth to bring upon
No sheep or lamb, the chosen son
With all trust not put to fault
An angel brought him to a halt
Abraham followed all his plans
Now untie his feet and hands
Due fulfilment of the test
Your descendants I will bless
Lord’s provision, for the right
Precious always in God’s sight
