Lyrics

Inheritance of Promise

Verse 1

In Ur of the Chaldeans, under ancient skies,
A call rang forth, both profound and wise.
“Leave your land,” said the Lord, “to a place I will show,
In you, all families of earth shall be blessed and grow.”

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Verse 2

Through deserts and trials, Abraham walked in faith,
Believing the Word, with each step he saith.
“Count the stars, so shall your offspring be,”
A multitude born, in them, God’s glory we see.

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Bridge

Father of many, a legacy divine,
Through Isaac, through Jacob, Your purposes align.
A covenant unbroken, a promise so true,
In every generation, Your mercies anew.

Chorus

Yahweh, our Promise, in You we trust,
Through Abraham’s seed, Your covenant just.
Nations will rise, in Your love they’ll stand,
Inheritance of promise, in Your holy land.

Outro

From age to age, Your promises endure,
In Your faithfulness, our hope is secure.
Inheritance of promise, a destiny grand,
In You, our God, we take our stand.
