The Sons of Abraham (Ishmael & Isaac)

By Ken Fox

There is a gathering way out in the desert sands-

The Sons of Abraham are coming back to join forever hand in hand-

Asking for mercy -

Asking for forgiveness –

No more blood, the sands are drenched -

The milk and honey is gone and dried up-

Our throats are parched –

The stones that lay upon stones in wreckage cry out for restoration.

Restore our broken history -

Restore our broken hearts they say -

But most of all:

Our Father, Abraham keeps calling from his ancient grave

Come back my sons -

Heal up your wounds -

I loved you both. –

Perhaps I never showed it -

Perhaps you never knew it -

Old man was I, when you were born,

Two wives had I (Sarah & Hagar)

My heart was torn -

Two sons had I -

I made them go their separate ways -

I have cried through the centuries of your pain

NOW! NOW!

THE TIME HAS COME -

For the joining of my sons!
