\'Jehovah Jireh\', \'tis the Lord
It was according to His word
When it did come, Abraham test
To offer up to Him the best
Even his son Isaac to be
A burnt offering to God, see
E\'en if we can it scarce believe
This was His word with no deceive
Then when Abraham did obey
The Lord He did restrain and say
Offer your son not, know I know
You do obey me, it be so
And then a ram offered instead
In that place true it sure was said
Jehovah Jireh, the Lord will
Provide and make a way through still
He will see to things, sort them out
And be faithful beyond a doubt
Now we, us of New Covenant
Believe in His Son who He sent
Jesus, the Son of God He be
God does provide for you and me
An offering and sacrifice
Jesus for our sins pays the price
We loved, forgiven, and set free
And given life eternally
Grant faith to trust your provision
You look on us, forget not one
