Abraham's Seed Poem by Roy Allen

'God will provide, my son.' Abraham said
as poor Isaac to the altar was led
and there standing before them stood a ram.
God's merciful provision for Abraham.

For God's only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ
agreed with His Father to be sacrificed.
He would carry out the plan They agreed
and the price would be paid by Abraham's Seed.

No substitute was provided for Him
when as The Lamb of God He bore our sin.
His death on the cross was the only way
and there'd be no reprieve for Him that day.

So up the hill of Golgotha He went
and to pay for our sin His life He spent.
Now we can look up and see taking place
God's merciful provision for the Human Race.
