One Son Spared - Another Not

One Son Spare - Another Not

By faith Abraham took his son
to Moriah's Hill

Carrying the wood to the altar, Isaac was bound
and then laid still

The father raised the dagger to the Promised son
to kill

An Angel of the Lord intervened
and made him still

Abraham, the righteous man submitted
to the Father's will

The son was spared; a substitude ram
did Issaac's place fill
~ ~ ~ ~ ~

God the Father brought His only begotten Son
to Moriah's Hill

The Son carried His cross as He submitted
to the Father's will

Drinking the bitter cup of death
that was filled

He suffered the Divine vengeance of sin upon Himself;
He paid the sinner's bill

The Father's son was not spared
but will impute His righteousness to the sinner still.

He that spared not His own son but delivered Him up for us all . . .
~ Romans 8:32
