The Plan - Part 1

[Short instrumental intro] [Verse 1] At the first of God's great plan He made them coats from skins. He covered all their nakedness, Clothed in his righteousness. But through their fall, they lost their home, and its way was kept by cherubim. [Chorus] The cost of sin is death of soul, The law must be obeyed, The judge must give his sentence and the debt must then be paid. But mercy from the throne of God, His love summed up in whole, By the sending of his son to die, To save the fallen world. [Short calm instrumental] [Verse 2] Through the ark that Noah built, A shadow of grace was shown. A refuge from the coming storm, A seed of hope was sown. So mankind could find their way back, To the arms they've always known. [Verse 3] In land of Ur, A man was called, Abram was his name, God called him from his father's house To go to a new place. Up he went, with faith in God His life would never be the same. God promised him, he would have a child Through obedience and faith. God changed his name to Abraham The father of the saved. [Chorus] The cost of sin is death of soul, The law must be obeyed, The judge must give his sentence and the debt must then be paid. But mercy from the throne of God, His love summed up in whole, By the sending of his son to die, To save the fallen world. [Verse 4] His life he lived, for many years, No child would come his way, Till Sarah gave him Hagar, "bear a child to my maid". But this was not God's plan, And they must leave from off his land, God's promise would fulfill by his own hand. [Verse 5] In old age they did bear a child, And isaac was his name, The child of promise from the Lord And one through whom Israel came. A day did come, the Lord did test, "You must prove to me your faith" You must take your son, your only son and put him to the flame" Take him up into the mount, Where I'll glorify my name". [Break] [Verse 6] "Come my son, we must go, A sacrifice to make", With wood on back, and knife in sheath, They set out on their trek. "But father where's the animal?" "The lord himself will provide" There was nothing he could do, But in God he must confide" [Chorus] The cost of sin is death of soul, The law must be obeyed, The judge must give his sentence and the debt must then be paid. But mercy from the throne of God, His love summed up in whole, By the sending of his son to die, To save the fallen world.
