Lech Lecha

From battle Avram came back home,

With Lot and all his kin,

He’d challenged 5 Kings in a war,

That no one thought he’d win.

He was welcomed back like royalty,

The King of Sodom praised his name,

Malchitzedek came and blessed him,

Who was Noach’s first son, Shem.

He was offered all the spoils,

But he turned them all aside,

He’d done only what he had to do,

There was no hint of pride.

Avram’s record wasn’t spotless,

He could not claim perfection,

But he lived a life of principle,

Today, he’d never win election.

He would only take advantage,

Of this chance to use his fame,

To bring “hamon goyim” to recognize,

The High One’s Holy Name.
