Sons of Abraham
Ted Pearce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear O Jerusalem, sons of Abraham
It's for the hope of Israel I sing
You're sent to be a light unto the nations of the world
Chosen as a witness of the King

Sh'ma Yisrael, Adonai echad
My heart is heavy for you now
Hearken to the voice of Elohim inside your heart
Seek the Lord while yet He may be found

The mighty God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham
Yeshua's calling you back to your promised land

Many sons of a stranger have joined unto the land
And nations you knew not have run to thee
To seek the Holy One of Israel
Yet having eyes you do not see

The mighty God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham
Yeshua's calling you back to your promised land

Who has believed our report?
While He is near I pray you'd call upon the Lord
Hamashiach is returning to the land
My heart is heavy for you, sons of Abraham

Now look upon the One who was pierced
A suffering servant for us all
Afflicted for our sins and yet no guile was in His mouth
And by His stripes we all are healed

Almighty God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham
Yeshua's calling you back to your promised land




Back to your promised land
Back to your promised land
