Abraham, Abraham

Abraham, Abraham, why did you lie
To Pharaoh and then to Abimelech
Despite this fault you weren't such a bad guy
When God said leave town, your feet hit the deck

Look count the stars in the sky Abraham
So will your children be, if you can count
To your descendants I will give this land
Abraham believed and God took account

Abraham, Abraham, why did you cheat
Keturah's children and send them away
Inheritance should be fair, not mistreat
You gave all to Isaac; that was foul play

Abraham was faulty like you and me
But by faith obeyed when God said to go
And when he was tested, you will agree
He obeyed God like no man that you know

Abraham, Abraham, father of ours
You were just like us, so weak in the end
But you believed God and counted the stars
And you were a man that God called His friend
