Called to come out from a land of culture and great riches
Across the burning desert sands with servants, tent and dishes.
What made him come, great man of old, the “father of the faithful"?
The man that was the “friend of God” had faith that “He is able.”
The counsels of his God were known, the promises were given
As sand that is beside the sea, as stars that fill the heaven.
A city glorious, not made with hands, his eye of faith could see
Still trusting God with confidence, who could this person be?
