[Chorus First]
Go from your country, go from your name,
Walk toward a promise no map can contain.
Blessing will follow the road of belief;
Nations will gather beneath one leaf.
Go from your kindred, the old life behind;
Faith takes the first step before it can find.
[Verse 1]
Seventy-five with the tents folded tight,
Abram set out in the morning light.
Sarai beside him, possessions and souls,
Crossing through Shechem toward unknown goals.
Canaan lay open, but strangers were there;
An altar rose under Moreh's great air.
[Post-Chorus]
He called on the name of the Lord,
Stone after stone on the road.
[Verse 2]
No palace received him, no border was won,
Only the word and the heat of the sun.
Bethel behind and the wilderness near,
Promise grew louder than distance or fear.
Through him the families of earth would be blessed;
The wandering servant moved south without rest.
[Final Chorus]
Go from your country, go from your name,
Walk toward a promise no map can contain.
Blessing will follow the road of belief;
Nations will gather beneath one leaf.
Faith takes the first step, though nothing is shown;
The road becomes holy when God leads it on.
