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