stars too numerous to number – v2


star too numerous to number
their legacy, God’s promise
the impact of their lives
on Abraham, on Sarah;
this couple, these seeds
scattered upon the waters

boldly acting on their faith
their belief in God’s promise
going as they were called
leaving their land, their family
embarking on a journey;
this couple, these seeds
scattered upon the waters

stars too numerous to number
their legacy, God’s promise
from their act of faith
God would build nations
sealed by the sacrifice
the promise of blood;
this couple, these seeds
scattered upon the waters
