Like him, we are justified
by faith, by our trust, our belief
not by our deeds, our works,
He believed and he went
where God sent him
Through his faith
he was blessed by God
The underlying covenant
of faith, not of blood,
spirit-filled trust
We too, by our living faith
walk in his sandals,
reap the same harvest
as the children of Abraham
