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