[C] [F] [C]
Abraham [F] prayed [C] for the day God would [F] give [C] him a son.
[F]
Blessed [C] Isaac [F] was his name, [C] the greatest gift he'd ever known.
Then came the day [F] [C] who would have dreamed [F] God would say,
You gotta [C] give him back to me.
And on this mountain [Gm] [F] you must prove
That it's [C] you and Isaac, [G] or it's [C] me and you.
So when I lay [F] my [C] Isaac down
With a [F] broken heart but my [C] father's proud
And on this altar [F] [C] where he lay
Just to find that it [G] wasn't him God [C] wanted me
Now most of us, [F] I [C] dare to say
Oh, [F] we've got an Isaac [C] standing in God's way
But it's on this [F] altar [C] you too can prove
That it's not your Isaac that [G] God wants
But [C] he wants you.

I [E] surrender
[Am] All to him I freely [Fm] give
