There in old Chaldea, product of man’s fall

There in old Chaldea

product of man’s fall

God appeared to Abram—called him from it all.

“Get thee from thy country

from thy father’s clan

Get thee from thy kindred to another land.”

Our Lord God Jehovah called a corporate man

One that would express Him and fulfill His plan.

Through the Lord’s infusion

Abraham became

Father of the faithful—life had changed his name.

Though the Lord’s appearing

brought him to the land

Still he needed Isaac to fulfill God’s plan.

Isaac from his father did inherit all:

Sonship’s full enjoyment

blessing of God’s call.

Though all things receiving

incomplete was he;

Lacking transformation and maturity.

In his father’s footsteps

Jacob then became

Prince of God

a wrestler

Israel his name;

By the Spirit’s dealing

fully grown

he reigned;

O’er the earth

through Joseph

ruling pow’r obtained.

Thus do Jacob

Isaac

Abraham portray

Path that we

God’s called ones

must walk in today:

Members of the Body

as a corporate man

We complete His calling and fulfill His plan.
