A tale of two hills
An old man climbed a mountain
a task he must perform,
his heart was broken,but his faith was sure.
On mount Moriah.
The God he trusted, he was prepared to obey
for so long He had shown him the true way
and promised and delivered so much.
On mount Moriah.
His son was with him , pleased to be there,
a sacrifice was needed, but he knew not from where.
he asked the question ;"the Lord will provide" his father replied
On mount Moriah.
The story unfolded, the man's hand was stayed
a ram was revealed;on the altar it was laid
and the son's life was spared.
On mount Moriah.
The years have passed, another sacrifice takes place
a Father's Son is offered freely
but His hand is not stayed
On Calvary.
The"lamb" is the Son,
God,the Father, gave him up, since
He loved the world so much.
On Calvary.
What Abraham was spared
Our heavenly Father has endured,
the perfect One was slain,the world by love was saved.
On Calvary.
Then let us bend the knee and worship
the one who died and rose again.
The Law's demand was met; "it is finished" was His cry
On Calvary.
