Have A Little Faith Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Well, God got things back together 

And the world started growing again 

Noah's sons had sons 

And a descendant of Shem's 

Was a man called 'Abram' 

God hand-picked him, made him the leader of his race 

The founder of his religion and changed his name to Abraham 

His trust in God was like nothing you've ever seen before 

The father of the faithful, the father of all that believe 

God told Abraham to go to Canaan land 

And start a brand new life and be a brand new man 

He took his wife and nephew and did as he was told 

But it's hard startin' over at seventy-five years old 

But God said, "Abraham, look, for as far as you see 

All of that land is a gift from Me" 

It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me 

Just have a little faith and you'll see 

Well, Abraham was closin' in on ninety and nine 

And Sarah, bless her heart, wasn't very far behind 

When God stopped in to visit in the heat of the day 

Said, "Pretty soon, there'll be a baby comin' your way" 

But Sarah laughed and said, "No, I don't believe that it's true 

Me with a child, with an old man like you?" 

It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me 

Just have a little faith and you'll see 

"Abraham, it's time for a big sacrifice 

Build yourself a fire and sharpen up your knife 

Take your little boy, Isaac, and put him in the flame 

And kill him and burn him in God's Holy name" 

Then God said, "Abraham, don't! It was only a test 

You passed with flyin' colors ahead above the rest" 

It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me 

Just have a little faith and you'll see 

The father of the faithful, the leader of the clan 

He started out as just a simple country man 

But God loved Abraham and Abraham loved Him 

It's a story to remember when your faith is growin' dim 

And you get tired and you say, "Ah, it was different back then 

But remember that they were only just men" 

It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me 

Just have a little faith and you'll see 

Just have a little faith and you'll see 

Just have a little faith and you'll see
