[G] [F] [C]
Now Abraham prayed [F] [C] for the day God [G] would [F]
give him [C] a son.
[G] [C] Blessed Isaac was his name, the greatest gift [F] he'd [C] ever known.
[F] [C] Then came the day, hallelujah, who would have dreamed
God would say, you've [G] got to give him to [C]
me.
Now on this mountain [F] [C] you must groove.
It's you and Isaac, [F] or it's [C] me and you.
[F] [G] And when [C] I lay [F] my eyes [C]
with a broken [F]
heart,
[G] but my [C] father's proud.
[F] [G] And on [C] this altar [F] where [C] he lay,
[G] just to find it wasn't him, and he [C] won't envy.
Listen [F] now, [G] now [C] most of us,
[F] I [C] dare to say,
[G] [C] we've [F] got an Isaac [G] in [C] God's way.
But on this altar [F] [C] you can't prove,
It's not your eyes that God [F] wants, [C] he's wanting [G] you.
And when [C] I lay
[F] [C]
my eyes with a broken [F] heart,
[G] but my [C] father's proud.
[F] And [G] on [C] this altar [F] [C] where he lay,
[F] just [C] to find it wasn't [F] him, he [C] won't envy.
[F] [G] And when [C] I lay
[F] [C]
my eyes with a broken [F]
heart,
but [G] my [C] father's proud.
[F] And on [C] this altar [F] where [C] he lay,
just to find it wasn't [F] him, [C] God won't envy.
[F] [C]
Now Abraham prayed [F] [C] for the day,
God [F] would give him [C] a son.
Blessed Isaac was his name,
the greatest gift [F] he'd [C] ever known.
[F] [C] Then came the day, hallelujah,
who would have dreamed,

Now on this mountain [F] [C] you must prove,
it's you and I [F] or it's [C] me and [F] you.

but [G] my [C] father's proud.
[F] [G] And on [C] this altar [F] [C] where he lay,
[G] just to find it wasn't him, he [C] won't envy.
Listen [F] now, [G] now [C] most of us, I dare to say,
[Em] [C] we've [F] got an Isaac [G] in [C] God's way.
But on this altar [F] [C] you can prove,
it's not your eyes that God [F] wants, he [C] won't envy
[G] you.
And when [C] I lay
[F] [C]
my eyes with a broken [F] heart,
but [G] my [C] father's proud.
