beginning a nation

After the flood
the cleaning of a slate
still needing something more
God’s plan to unfold

Healing us, by journey
the first calling to Abram
to come and follow
to go where Christ is leading

Building a nation
from the fruits of this one couple
barren, forgotten
yet known unto God

Beginning a nation
in faithful journey with him
as Abram became Abraham
a father of many nations

God here with us
here with us still
the nation unfolding
growing ever still
