      [Intro]
C  D    E    A   D7   G7    D7

[Verse 1]
    G
God told Abraham to go to Canaan land

And start a brand new life and be a brand new man
   C                            G             E7
He took his wife and nephew and did as he was told
         A7                    D7
But it's hard startin' over at seventy five years old

             G
But God said Abraham look for as far as you see
C                     B7        E7
All of that land is a gift from me
       C                               G                E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
     A7            D7               G  D7
Just have a little faith and you'll see

[Verse 2]
     G
Well Abraham was closin' in on ninety and nine

And Sarah bless her heart wasn't very far behind
     C                              G           E7
When God stopped in to visit in the heat of the day
            A7                     D7
Said pretty soon they'll be a baby comin' your way

          G
But Sarah laughed and said no I don't believe that it's true
C                       B7           E7
Me with a child with an old man like you

       C                               G                E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
     A7            D7               G
Just have a little faith and you'll see

[Bridge]
G
Abraham it's time for a big sacrifice
G
Build yourself a fire and sharpen up your knife
          C                    G              E7
Take your little boy Isaac and put him in the flame
    A7                       D7
And kill him and burn him in God's holy name

[Verse 3]
              G
Then God said Abraham don't it was only a test
    C                           B7             E7
You passed with flyin' colors a head above the rest
       C                               G                E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
     A7            D7               G D7
Just have a little faith and you'll see

    G
The father of the faithful the leader of the clan

He started out as just a simple country man
    C                     G             E7
But God loved Abraham and Abraham loved Him
       A7                          D7
It's a story to remember when your faith is growing dim

[Outro]
            G
And you get tired and you say ah it was different back then
    C                       B7        E7
But remember that they were only just men
       C                               G                E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
     A7            D7               G
Just have a little faith and you'll see

     A7            D7               G
Just have a little faith and you'll see
     A7            D7               G
Just have a little faith and you'll see
