Verse
F# G#m/B F#
Abraham prayed for the day
B F#
God would give him a son
G#m/B F#
Blessed Isaac was his name
G#m C#
The greatest gift he’d ever known
F# G#m/B F#
Then came the day, who would have dreamed
B F#
God would say “Give him to me
G#m/B F#
On this mountain you will prove,
G#m G#m/B C# F#
It’s you and Isaac, or it’s me and you”
[Chorus]
F# G#m/B F#
When I lay my Isaac down
B F#
Broken heart but my Fathers proud
G#m/B F#
On this altar here he lays
G#m G#m/B C# F#
Just to find it wasn’t him he/(God) wanted me
[Verse 2]
F# B F#
Most of us I’d dare to say
B F#
Have an Isaac in God’s way
B F#
On the Altar God will prove
G#m C#
It’s not your Isaac that he wants
F#
He wants you
[Chorus x 2]
F# G#m/B F#
When I lay my Isaac down
B F#
Broken heart but my Fathers proud
G#m/B F#
On this altar here he lays
G#m G#m/B C# F#
Just to find it wasn’t him he/(God) wanted me
[Outro]
G#m/B F#
On this altar here he lays
G#m G#m/B C# F#
Just to find it wasn’t him he/(God) wanted me
