Words by David Bjorlin
The God of Sarah praise
the
God of dreams long dead
who
births new life from barren ground
disarming
dread.
Though
grief lasts through
the night
joy
rises with the sun
God
leaves us laughing in surprise
at
death undone.
The God of Abr’ham
praise
the
God of all who roam
who
guides us into foreign lands
and
makes our home.
Though
darkness shrouds
our path
the
stars
as pledges
shine
God’s
covenant will be fulfilled
by
love’s
design.
The God of Hagar praise
the
God of “second
best”
who
sees
the lost and overlooked
and
calls them blessed
Though
wandering alone
through
deserts of despair
God leads us to a well
of hope
and
meets us there
