Children of Abraham - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

The children of Abraham
for you and me
these are who Christ came for
to redeem us from death
the fear of eternity
in the pit of hell

Coming as flesh and blood
as a human, mortal
living in humbleness
loving his fellow man
that we may see the face of God
in the walk of his life

Going before us
dying that we may live
giving all for us
even the shame of the cross
to wash away our stain
the judgment transferred to him
the holy, unblemished lamb
