Genesis 17. God Renames and Remakes

17 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

² And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

³ And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

⁴ As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

⁵ Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

⁶ And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

⁸ And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

⁹ And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

¹⁰ This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

¹¹ And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

¹² And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

¹³ He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

¹⁴ And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

¹⁵ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

¹⁷ Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

¹⁸ And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

¹⁹ And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

²¹ But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

²² And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

²³ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

²⁴ And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁵ And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁶ In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

²⁷ And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Your Faithful Covenant

Ninety-nine and weary, walking roads he’s always known,

Abram hears a voice of thunder, yet it speaks with gentle tone,

I am Almighty God He calls, walk before Me and be whole

A covenant of promise, rising written deep in Abram’s soul

He falls down in holy wonder, as God speaks His sacred plan

A father of all nations now formed from one devoted man,

His name no more is Abram, destiny’s shifting like the sand,

Abraham shall be your name, for nations rest within his hand,

Legacy awakening, where weary hope had died,

A future shaped by heaven that no fear can override,

Your covenant stands forever, Your promise stronger than the stars,

You call the old and broken, and write new futures on our scars,

From Abram into Abraham, Your Word restores, Your voice commands,

And every oath You speak remains, for Your covenant forever stands.

God says, O Abraham, hear Me, this covenant’s for all your line,

King shall rise from Sarah’s womb, a miracle by design.

Though her laughter shakes the silence, My promise will still unfold,

For Isaac shall be born to you, a joy no doubt can hold,

And every male among them marked, sign of promise sealed with grace,

A people set apart for God, a chosen holy place,

Ishmael too is blessed with life, with nations rising from his name,

But Isaac carries covenant, the promised child who came,

Grace that reaches generations, written by the Father’s hand,

A story born in barren places, only God could understand,

Your covenant stands forever, Your promise stronger than the stars,

You call the old and broken, and write new futures on our scars,

From Abram into Abraham, Your Word restores, Your voice commands,

And every oath You speak remains, for Your covenant forever stands.

You change our names, You change our hearts,

You mark our lives, You set apart,

When hope seems gone, Your mercy stays,

Your Word outlives our numbered days,

A covenant of endless grace, a thousand blessings in one phrase,

I will be your God, forever and always.

Your covenant stands forever, Your promise shining through the night,

From dust You form a nation, a turn forgotten into light,

From Abram to Abraham, Your faithfulness builds every land,

And every hope You speak remains, Your covenant forever stands.

Your covenant forever stands.

Genesis 15. God Is Your Sheild

15 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

² And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

³ And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

⁴ And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

⁵ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

⁶ And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

⁷ And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

⁸ And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

⁹ And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

¹⁰ And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

¹¹ And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

¹² And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

¹³ And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

¹⁴ And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

¹⁵ And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

¹⁷ And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

¹⁸ In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹⁹ The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

²⁰ And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

²¹ And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Count the Stars

Fear not, Abram, God speaks in the night,

A hush on the desert, the fire burning bright,

You don’t need a shield made of metal or stone,

For I am your shield, your reward, yours alone.

But Abram sighs, “Lord, how can this be?

I have no child, no heir after me.”

Then God whispers softly, “Look up at the sky,

Count every star shining high in the night.

Just like these lights, spread far and wide,

So shall your children fill the earth side to side.”

Abram believed; his heart opened wide,

And God called him righteous, for the trust inside,

Count the stars above, every light shows my love,

When your hope feels small, I’m the God of it all,

Through darkness or scars, your future shines like the stars,

The Lord reminds him, I brought you here free,

Out of your past so this land could be your truly,

Abram asked gently, “How will I know?”

So, God has him gathered the creatures in rows,

A heifer, a goat, a ram, birds for the sign,

A covenant ready, a promise divine,

Then a deep sleep falls, and dread fills the air,

But God speaks hope while Abram lies there,

Your children will wander in lands not their own,

400 years, yet they won’t be alone,

I’ll bring them back, with treasures untold,

And you’ll rest in peace, when your story is old,

A blazing torch, a smoking flame,

Moves through the pieces, and seals God’s name,

The covenant stands, nothing can sever,

The land God promised, lasting forever.

From river to river, His word remains true,

A promise for Abram, carried through you.

Genesis 12. God Calls and Blesses

12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

² And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

⁴ So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

⁵ And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

⁶ And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

⁷ And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

⁸ And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.

⁹ And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

¹⁰ And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

¹¹ And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

¹² Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

¹³ Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

¹⁴ And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

¹⁵ The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

¹⁶ And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

¹⁷ And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.

¹⁸ And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

¹⁹ Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

²⁰ And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

The Call of Abraham

In the land of Ur, I heard Your voice,

You called me out. I made the choice.

Leave your country, your people, your father’s home,

To a land unknown, but you won’t walk alone.

You gave a promise deep in my soul,

To bless the nations, to make me whole.

Father of nations, that’s who I’ll be,

Through every step, You’re leading me.

I will make you into a great name, Through you, all the world will never be the same.

I will bless those who bless, curse those who curse,

This covenant stands, through the best and the worst.

You gave a promise, faithful and true,

A calling greater than I ever knew.

Father of nations, by faith not sight,

I walk with You into the light.

I left it all — the land I knew,

Chased after promise and followed You.

No map, no plan, no safety net,

Just Your voice — and no regret.

You gave a promise, and I believed,

Through barren years, still I received.

Father of nations, by grace alone,

You built a people from just one stone.

You are the God who calls and keeps,

Your promise lives in those who seek.

Genesis 10 God Made Every Nation

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

³ And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

⁷ And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

⁸ And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

¹² And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

¹³ And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,

¹⁶ And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

¹⁷ And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

¹⁸ And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

¹⁹ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

²¹ Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

²² The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

²³ And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

²⁵ And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

²⁶ And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

²⁷ And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

²⁸ And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

²⁹ And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Nations of the Earth

From mountain to desert, from river to sea

The children of Noah walk free

Names like rivers, tribes like stars

Every language tells who we are

Shem and Japheth, Ham and Kin,

Journey outward, life begins,

From tents and fire the peoples rise,

New horizons fill the skies

Nations of the earth, one breath, one birth,

Voices rising from the dust to song,

Colors blend, the world belongs,

To the maker of all tongues.

To the maker of all tongues.

Cities rise and stories grow,

Fields are sown where waters flow

Every border, every land,

Carved by His enduring hand,

From east to west His mercy runs

The Father gathers all His sons,

Though scattered wide, His purpose stands

One heart, one God, one plan,

Nations of the earth, one breath, one birth,

Harmony of life and light and song

Every tongue and tribe proclaim

The Lord of all remains the same

The Lord of all remains the same

One God, one earth, one song,

One God, one earth, one song,

One God, one earth, one song,

One God, one earth, one song,

One God, one earth, one song,

One God, one earth, one song,
