Paul references Abraham as an Old Testament example of one who was justified by faith – not by works or by the sign of circumcision.
lyrics
LYRICS
Let the man who wonders at the life of Abraham
Who in former days was reckoned right,
See the way that He was saved was not through flesh or might,
But by faith the man was justified.
Not of works, no not of works.
Abraham by faith looked ahead to grace
To a righteousness not of his own,
Blessed is the man, who, like Abraham,
The Lord counts his sins as atoned.
Some may say this man named Abe was saved by a sign,
A symbol carried through the Jewish line;
Well let me ask, “When did it pass that Abraham believed?
Before or after he the sign received?”
Before the sign, before the sign.
Abraham by faith looked ahead to grace
To a righteousness not of his own,
Blessed is the man, who, like Abraham,
The Lord counts his sins as atoned.
Not just the father of the Jews,
But the father of us all;
Long before there was the news
Of this Moses and the Law,
Abraham believed by faith
That the Lord would save
So the promise rests on grace for you and me.
Abraham by faith looked ahead to grace
To a righteousness not of his own,
Blessed is the man, who, like Abraham,
The Lord counts his sins as atoned.
