Hagar and Ishmael Lyrics

Yes, and there shall come a time-
like the stars in the sky, you will multiply.

And I know that you are of untimely age,
and your barren wife has a better way...

Sarai came to set things right.
Threw the husband in the room,

and then closed her eyes. A servant
of the Lord came to give her womb.

A servant of the Lord
has her own mind too.

But now that time is moving on, Sarai fights it.
For the plans of the Lord that were slighted,

have they given you a house divided?
Does this put you in a hole?

Does your house feel like a home?
Servant you should run.


We find you by the riverside.
An angel of the Lord came to ease

your mind. He know you had a long road
to find your way, but the fruit

of your womb is a horse untamed. He will set to nothing
right, and the works of his hands- they will multiply.

A servant of the Lord
though you cannot see;

A servant of the Lord
will you always be.

But now, that time is moving on,
Sarai likes it. For the plans of the Lord

are decided. That the promise
is alive for Isaac.

He will come to rule this home.
He will come to take his own.

Well servant, you should run. And take
with you your son. For he is

a donkey of a man,
who could understand why?

He's laughing his head off.

A donkey of a man,
still within the plan.

Running through the land
with his head off.

A donkey of a man, Sarai understands why
he's laughing his head off.

Well servant you should run.
And take with you your son.

Until the day is come. Now
we know the time is right,

to put you out of mind
and out of sight.

O servant of the Lord,
do you now feel true?

Servants of the Lord
have a dark mind too.

But now you walk the desert
line, He will lead you

to the well; he will stay
your life. O mother

of a nation you cannot see!
The ways of the Lord are a mystery.
