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