Butchered Halves Lyrics

Sharpen the knife!
Abram, a man unworthy, hearing God speaking clearly believed all that God had said.
God gave him a great blessing to build through him a nation, ushering in redemption through God's righteous sovereignty.
God promised, Abram believed.
Do not be afraid, your reward is great.
This covenant made, is God's redemptive grace.
Butchered carved up halves, promises from God bestowed on man.
Butchered carcasses arranged side-by-side to ratify God's plan.
Counting his faith as righteous, the fire of God passed by these dead beasts laid side-by-side, as the sun fled from the sky.
The Lord made a covenant while Abram slept near the dead.
God's grace alone was given passing through these carcasses.
Cut them up!
Our redemption begins and ends with the glory of Christ revealed that God promises, who is and was and is to come, who is the author and the finisher of our salvation.
