He had a bone, he gave it to a woman
He didn't need a tent for the Garden was grand
But he desired to be the one in command
because he had his eyes fixed on his own master plan
The Master counted his folly as mortal transgression
and there he became the father of the fallen, Adam.
He had a home, but he became a nomad
He pitched his tents in no man's land
But it didn't matter when the times got bad
because he had his eyes fixed on the Passover Lamb.
The Provider counted his faith as righteousness,
and there he became the father of the faithful, Abraham.
He had a throne, but he became a mere man.
He had no tent, no home, and no land
But he endured the scorn, shame, and scheme of man
because he had his eyes fixed on the joy at the Father's right hand
The Father counted his obedience as a pleasing sacrifice
and there he became the Savior, Redeemer
Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus Christ.
