Braden McDonald - Righteousness Through Faith Lyrics

Cool and moonless night, oak trees swaying in the breeze, once again You come to me
You tell me not to be afraid, You're my shield and my reward shall be very great
"But oh, Sovereign Lord, what can You give to me, since I still don't have a son?"
You lead me from my tent and tell me, "Look up and count the stars, if you can"
Heavens wheeling overhead, unnumbered dots of light there spread, as dense as the sand
On the shore
So shall your offspring be
Lord, I believe

You promise that you brought me, all the way from my old home to give to me this land
It's not that my faith is weak, but would You show a sign to me, so I can know the land will be mine
In time
What kind of God is this?
He passed between the pieces!

Against all hope, Abraham believed
He faced the circumstances without weakening
He did not waver in unbelief
But was strengthened in his faith and gave God glory
Fully convinced of God's great power
To bring to pass whatever thing He promises
For all of time, the ways of God don't change
He credits righteousness to us through faith

Laughter in my home, to wife and me Your kindness shown, and once again You come to me
"Take your son, the one you love, to the mountain I will show, and sacrifice him there to Me"
Get up early, hit the road, if You take him, Lord, I know, He is still the promised seed
In the midst of the stroke, a mighty voice from heaven spoke, "Do not lay a hand on him
My friend"
"I swear by My great Name
Because you have done this thing
All nations will be blessed through you"
The Son of God will come through you
