Song : Abraham
Artist: Josh Baldwin
Album: The War Is Over
Writer: Josh Baldwin, Bobby Strand
There is a mountain in between
What you have said
And what I see
Standing before this offering
My failing heart
Will fight to believe
On this altar
On this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
How can I walk in my new name
Father of many
A promise you gave
And on this altar
And on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
Here on this mountain
I have climbed
Wrestling doubts that flood my mind
When ashes and dust are all that remain
The hope for the world still comes from my vein
On this altar
On this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
And How can I walk in my new name
Father of many
A promise you gave
And on this altar
And on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
And I will sing out
Until I believe now
Your faithful to carry me
Oh I will sing out
Until I believe now
You’re faithful to carry me
On this altar
On this road
You have called me from my home
The weight I carry is not my own
Spirit move this heart of stone
How can I walk in my new name
Father of many
A promise you gave
And on this altar
And on this road
I lay down my flesh and bones
Abraham Song Meaning
“Abraham” explores faith when God’s promise and present circumstances seem far apart. The mountain, altar, journey, and new name recall Abraham’s costly obedience and his struggle to trust God’s faithfulness.

Faith does not require the absence of questions. It means carrying those questions toward God, obeying what is clear, and trusting that the burden of fulfilling His promise ultimately belongs to Him.
