Avraham - 8th Day

sitting in the hot dessert sun // you’ve been told you’d be on the run // down

to egypt to pharaoh’s town // to rome and spain and many other lands // but you

opened your doors to tired men // to lonely passersby and angels from heaven //

your kindness and your care were known far and wide // father of a nation

your soul is alive.

// avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?

// are we the shining stars you saw at night?

// you know its true // we still

call you

avinu // our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside // take us home.

// you’ve been through every test now look a small shul in the mid west a

child was

born just the other day // and all those gathered there // heard his mother say

//although its been three thousand years and we’ve been fighting back all the

tears // one man’s lullaby // a nation will survive // father of our people

your dream is alive.

// chorus // your courage and your might kept the pharaohs

up

at night // no hand could hold you // no stranger would forget you.

// avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of // and we’re the shining

stars you

saw at night // you know its true // it’s why we call you avinu // our father

our pride we’ve got your soul inside // take us home.
