Genesis 18 Lyrics & Tabs by Hazakim
Genesis 18
guitar chords lyrics
It is written "No man may see God and live",
Yet the scriptures declared that the patriarchs did see
A man or an angel equated with God
So who is it that they saw?
Listen, it is written "No man may see God and live",
Yet the old covenant states times when they did see
A man or an angel equated with God,
So who is it that they saw? (Theophanies)
As Abraham sat by his tent in the heat of the day
Swattin flies and mosquitoes away
He looked up and saw three men, metres away
in the distance so he arose
and hurried from the entrance of his tent
then he bent low, down to the ground
in a position of submission
and hurried from the entrance of his tent
then he bent low, down to the ground
in a position of submission
he voiced his petition.
"If I have found favour in your eyes
My Lord I beg of you do not pass this servant by"
Let some water be brought so you can all wash your feet
And wait in the shade of the tree
As I prepare something to eat
That you may be refreshed and be on your way
"Very well" they answered do as you say
As they ate the lamb Ishmael and Abraham stood by
Like a servant waiting to fulfill his masters will.
Because he understood that one of the three
Was the invisible LORD manifested in visible form
And the scriptures testify this man when referring to himself
used the name of the Most High
And prophesied he would return in a year
to give Abraham and Sarah a child
and at last it came to pass
So was it really crass to say that God became a man?
And is it contrary to the faith of Abraham
Then who was it that he saw?
In the afternoon heat eating bread and meat
with dusty feet and all
It is written "No man may see God and live",
Yet the scriptures declared that the patriarchs did see
A man or an angel equated with God
So who is it that they saw?
Listen, it is written "No man may see God and live",
Yet the old covenant states times when they did see
A man or an angel equated with God,
So who is it that they saw? (Theophanies)
