Abraham's Awe

"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:56-58).

Abraham could see the day
That God would send His Lamb
To die and take our sins away:
Behold, the great "I Am"!

What an awesome sight he saw,
Beholding Christ his Seed!
Filled with gladness and with awe,
He saw Him meet our need.

And so with Abraham we share
The ability to see
The Lamb of God who came to bare
Our sins at Calvary.

Yet we also see the time
When Christ shall come again.
What an awesome sight sublime
Shall fill our vision then!
