Have A Little Faith

de The Statler Brothers

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 seventy five 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 comin' 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 Abraham 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 growing 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
