instead of we
 

as He
so are we,
instead of we
it had to be He.

with the sun sinking
and deep sleep stealing,
the horror ahead
abram, filled with dread,

then He not seen
passed in between
the sacrifice splayed:
"Don't be afraid."

as He
so are we,
instead of we
it has to be He.

with the sun rising
and morning light streaking, 
He knew then
we would sin,

so the smoking pot
went where we could not,
and the burning torch
us, it would not scorch.

as He
so are we,
instead of we
it had to be He.
 

Genesis 15
