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