LYRIC
AVRAHAM- 8th Day- Composed by Shmuel Marcus- Chasing Prophecy
VERSE 1:
Sitting in the hot desert 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.
CHORUS 1:
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,
take us home.
VERSE 2:
You’ve been through every test,
now look, a small shul in the Midwest
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 2:
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.
BRIDGE:
Your courage and your might kept the pharaohs up at night
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you.
Your courage and your might kept the pharaohs up at night
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you.
CHORUS 3:
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.
(x2)
Our father our pride, we’ve got your soul inside, take us home,
Our father our pride, we’ve got your soul inside, take us home,
take us home.
