Genesis 18

It is written "No man may see God and live",
 Yet the scriptures declared that the patriarchs did see
 A man or an angel equated with God
 So who is it that they saw?
 Listen, it is written "No man may see God and live",
 Yet the old covenant states times when they did see
 A man or an angel equated with God,
 So who is it that they saw? (Theophanies)
 As Abraham sat by his tent in the heat of the day
 Swattin flies and mosquitoes away
 He looked up and saw three men, metres away
 In the distance so he arose
 And hurried from the entrance of his tent
 Then he bent low, down to the ground
 In a position of submission
 He voiced his petition.
 "If I have found favour in your eyes
 My Lord I beg of you do not pass this servant by"
 Let some water be brought so you can all wash your feet
 And wait in the shade of the tree
 As I prepare something to eat
 That you may be refreshed and be on your way
 "Very well" they answered do as you say
 As they ate the lamb Ishmael and Abraham stood by
 Like a servant waiting to fulfill his masters will.
 Because he understood that one of the three
 Was the invisible LORD manifested in visible form
 And the scriptures testify this man when referring to himself
 Used the name of the Most High
 And prophesied he would return in a year
 To give Abraham and Sarah a child
 And at last it came to pass
 So was it really crass to say that God became a man?
 And is it contrary to the faith of Abraham
 Then who was it that he saw?
 In the afternoon heat eating bread and meat
 With dusty feet and all
 It is written "No man may see God and live",
 Yet the scriptures declared that the patriarchs did see
 A man or an angel equated with God
 So who is it that they saw?
 Listen, it is written "No man may see God and live",
 Yet the old covenant states times when they did see
 A man or an angel equated with God,
 So who is it that they saw? (Theophanies)
