Introduction:
Em Am C G
Sitting in the hot desert sun, you were told, you'd be on the run.
C Am Em G
Down to Egypt, to Pharaoh's town, to Rome and Spain, and many other lands.
Am C D C G
But you opened your door to tired men, and lonely passers-by, and angels from heaven.
C Am
Your kindness and your care were known far and wide.
Em G
Father of a nation, your soul is alive.
Chorus:
Am Em
Avraham, are we the children that you dreamed of?
C Em
Are we that shining star you saw at night?
Am Em
You know it's true, we still call you Avinu
C G
Our father our pride, we got your soul inside,
D G
take us home, take us home.
Em Am C G
You've been through every test, now look, a small shul in the midwest.
C Am Em G
A child was born, just the other day and all those gathered there, heard his mother say:
Am C D C G
Oh, it's been 3000 years, and we've been fighting back all the tears.
C Am
One mans lullaby, a nation will survive.
Em G
Father of our people, your dream is alive.
Chorus
G Am
Your courage and your might kept the Pharaohs up at night.
C D Am
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you. x2
