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