Biography:
The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none have the surname of "Statler".

[Intro]
C D E A D7 G7 D7
[Verse 1]
G
God told Abraham to go to Canaan land
And start a brand new life and be a brand new man
C G E7
He took his wife and nephew and did as he was told
A7 D7
But it's hard startin' over at seventy five years old
G
But God said Abraham look for as far as you see
C B7 E7
All of that land is a gift from me
C G E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
A7 D7 G D7
Just have a little faith and you'll see
[Verse 2]
G
Well Abraham was closin' in on ninety and nine
And Sarah bless her heart wasn't very far behind
C G E7
When God stopped in to visit in the heat of the day
A7 D7
Said pretty soon they'll be a baby comin' your way
G
But Sarah laughed and said no I don't believe that it's true
C B7 E7
Me with a child with an old man like you
C G E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
A7 D7 G
Just have a little faith and you'll see
[Interlude]
G C G G7 A7 G7
[Bridge]
G
Abraham it's time for a big sacrifice
G
Build yourself a fire and sharpen up your knife
C G E7
Take your little boy Isaac and put him in the flame
A7 D7
And kill him and burn him in God's holy name
[Verse 3]
G
Then God said Abraham don't it was only a test
C B7 E7
You passed with flyin' colors a head above the rest
C G E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
A7 D7 G D7
Just have a little faith and you'll see
G
The father of the faithful the leader of the clan
He started out as just a simple country man
C G E7
But God loved Abraham and Abraham loved Him
A7 D7
It's a story to remember when your faith is growing dim
[Outro]
G
And you get tired and you say ah it was different back then
C B7 E7
But remember that they were only just men
C G E7
It's a lesson for the learnin' for the likes of you and me
A7 D7 G
Just have a little faith and you'll see
A7 D7 G
Just have a little faith and you'll see
