Genesis 20 

[Verse 1]

In Gerar's land, Abraham did dwell,

With Sarah, his wife, a beauty to tell.

She caught the eye of Abimelech the king,

Who took her in haste, a perilous fling.

 

[Chorus]

Oh, Sarah, fairest of them all,

Caught in deceit's enthralling thrall.

Abraham, fearing for his life,

Said, "She's my sister," in the strife.

 

[Verse 2]

The king, deceived, took Sarah near,

But God intervened, his message clear.

In dreams of night, a warning came,

"Took another's wife, you're not to blame."

 

[Chorus]

Oh, Sarah, fairest of them all,

Caught in deceit's enthralling thrall.

Abimelech, trembling with fright,

Restored Sarah to Abraham that night.

 

[Bridge]

Abimelech, in morning's light,

Confronted Abraham, no more in flight.

"Why deceive me, risking my realm?

God's hand was on you, guiding the helm."

 

[Verse 3]

Abraham confessed, explained his fear,

How Sarah truly his wife was near.

The king, in grace, gifts did provide,

For God's protection, he did abide.

 

[Chorus]

Oh, Sarah, fairest of them all,

Caught in deceit's enthralling thrall.

Abraham learned, in trials deep,

God's faithfulness he would keep.

 

[Outro]

Thus, peace restored, they parted ways,

With lessons learned from those dark days.

In Gerar's land, a testament,

God's mercy shown, His covenant.
