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