Your Hot Torch

 

Sodom and Gomorrah
the evilest place of all
At that time the valley
departed from the LORD

God arrived at Mamre
and visited at the door
Abraham and Sarah
They spoke of what’s in store

And the LORD appeared unto Abraham
in the plains of Mamre
and he sat in the tent door
in the heat of the day

Sodom and Gomorrah
corrupted down to the core
Lot parked his new ranch there
and thought it wasn’t wrong

Sodom and Gomorrah
who Abraham pleaded for
Angels saved three people
the rest God’s brimstone scorched

And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked
and, lo, three men stood by him
and when he saw them
he ran to meet them

Lot was not as wicked
but tested there by the LORD
Angels came and saved him
but his whole ranch was lost

Father, what’s before us?
as Abraham’s prayer, not small
When you soon return please
remember your hot torch

From the tent door Abraham bowed himself
toward the ground and said, My Lord
if now I have found favor in your sight
pass not away, I pray, from your servant
