Sarah,
Sister of doubt.
Sister of doubt.
Tell me, how did you cope
In a new city
In a new city
When he did not claim you as his own?
Before the pharaoh a fair sibling,
Your identity unknown.
Sarah,
Wife of faith.
Wife of faith.
You followed him,
You left your home.
For the promise of a blessing,
Of a nation,
Of a nation,
Travelled from Shechem to Canaan.
Sarah,
Mother of laughter,
Mother of laughter,
Holding a miracle inside her.
Tell me, how did you feel
As they climbed the hallowed hill,
And he built an altar,
Drew his knife to kill?
Sarah,
Mother of laughter,
Mother of laughter,
Wife of faith, of doubt a sister.
Grant me faith to follow,
Hope for miracles in hollow.
Grant me strength to love,
The ability to give him up.
Hebrews 11:11: "By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and that beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised".
ReplyDelete1 Peter 3:6: "whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation".
What an example, and what a test.
