about

We learned this “old testament gospel” song from Richard Levine, and we think of him fondly whenever we sing it.

lyrics

Now in the Bible, so I've read,
God spoke to Abraham and thus He said,
"Before three days are past and gone,
You must sacrifice Isaac, your beloved son."

[chorus]
Don't despair, there's a ram in the thicket,
God is there, there's a ram in the thicket,
He hears your prayer, there's a ram in the thicket,
There's a ram in the thicket by the grace of God

Next mornng Abraham did depart
With a grieving soul and an aching heart
He took young Isaac by the hand
But he didn't tell his son about his God's command

"Father, for this sacrifice
I see the fire and I see the knife
But where's the ram?" young Isaac cried,
"Oh, my son, God will provide"

Abraham, he bound his son,
And laid him down upon the altar stone
He raised the knife to do God's command
But God called, "Abraham, stay thy hand"

Abraham freed the son he loved
He proved his faith in his God above
And if your faith is strong and true
There's a ram in the thicket will be waiting for you
