The Covenant
Children can easily understand the special covenant God made with Abraham when we focus on this line from scripture, spoken by Abraham, “Surely the Lord is in this place.” As children learn this song, they will internalize the truth that as they follow God, they can say the same thing Abraham did, that, “Surely the Lord is in this place,” with them.

Lyrics
A covenant was given a long time ago
To Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
God promised to bless them and their families,
We know, if they would be steadfast and faithful.
As I strive to do God's will every day
Like Jacob of old, I can say
Surely the Lord is in this place.
Surely He’ll bless me with His grace.
And keep me forever safe in His care.
Wherever I am, He'll be there.
A covenant comes from the Lord up above
A promise that goes both directions.
It binds us to Him
And His unfailing love,
And step by step, leads up to heaven.
As I strive to do God's will every day
Like Jacob of old I can say
Surely the Lord is in this place.
Surely He’ll bless me with His grace.
And keep me forever safe in His care.
Wherever I am, He'll be there.
He'll keep me forever safe in His care.
Wherever I am, He is there
