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