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