giving up issac

Do you have an Issac?
A birth God has promised,
A creation that you love,
Hope for the future,
Sent from above.
Waiting can take forever,
When declarations are made.
Not knowing all the pieces
Can cause trust to wane.
Without patient endurance
We often act too fast,
Faith is more than needed
For promises to pass.

If Hope runs dry
And your faith begins to dip
Be careful not to substitute
To try to make things fit!
Taking random short cuts
To accelerate Gods plan
Spawns Jealousy and sorrow
And affliction in the land.
Ishmaels are made
When we try to force God’s hand
Laughing at God, He will not stand!
Do you have an Issac?
A birth God has promised,
A creation that you love.
Hope for the future,
Sent from above.
When you look to heaven
And see all of the stars
Do you feel so small,
Like it’s not even in the cards.
When He promises offspring
from your barrenness
Will you believe
He’s the God of faithfulness?
When your business has succeeded
And money is flooding in,
When your fame is thunderous
And people are crowding in,
When the fruit of your labor
Has caused your ministry to grow,
Will you hold onto possession
And become a one man show?
Whats “mine is mine is mine”
Its our sinful way,
What’s “mine is mine is mine”
It leads to our decay.
Do you have an Issac?
A birth God has promised,
A creation that you love,
Hope for the future,
Sent from above.
When you have invested
All of your time and energy
Into the plan you thought was meant to be,
What will you do?
When God says “Give it all back to me?”
Will you bow down
and submit to His authority?
When your child is rebellious
Or A friend has gone astray
Will you hold on tighter,
And try to save the day;
Will you hold on tightly,
When Issac is in your midst?
Are you willing to sacrifice
the one that you love best?
Hands wide open
It’s the worship that He knows
Hands wide open
It’s fragrance to His nose
Hands wide open
Its the ultimate sacrifice.
Hands wide open
It time to let go
When we give up Issac
Is when our faith will grow.
