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