[C]
Abraham prayed for the day God [F] would give him [C] a son.
Blessed Isaac was his name.
The greatest [D] gift he'd ever [G] known.
[Dm] Then came [C] the day who would have dreamed God
[F] would say, Abraham give him to [C] me.
On this mountain [F] you [C] will prove it's you and Isaac
[G] or it's me [C] and you.
[G] When [C] I lay [F] my
[C] Isaac down, [F] broken heart but my
[C] father's proud.
On this altar here he lays just to find it wasn't [G] him he wanted [C] me.
Most of us I
dare to say, heaven [F] Isaac in
[C] God's way.
On the altar God will peruse it's not your Isaac
that he [G] wants he's wanting [C] you.
[G] When [C] I lay [F] my
[C] Isaac down, [F] broken heart but my
[C] father's proud.
On this altar here he lays just to find it wasn't [G] him God wanted [C] me.
On the altar here he lays just to find it wasn't [G] him God [C] wanted me.
