Abraham prayed [F] [C]
for the day that God [F] would give him [C]
a son.
Blessed Isaac [F] [C] was his name, [F] the greatest [C]
gift [G] he'd [C] ever known.
[G] Then [C] came the day [F] who would [C] have dreamed that God would [F] say,
You've got a giving to [C]
me.
Now on this mountain [F] you [C] will prove
It's you and Isaac [G] or it's me [C] and you.
And when I laid [F] my [C]
Isaac down
With a [F] broken heart, but my [C]
father's proud.
And on this altar [F] where [C]
he laid
[F] Just [C] to find it wasn't [G] him God [C]
wanted me.

Now [G] most [C] of us, [F] I [C] dare to say
We've got an [F] Isaac in [C] God's way.
But on this altar [F] you [C] can prove
[F] It's not your [C]
Isaac that God wants, [G] he's wanting [C]
you.
And when I laid [F] [C] my Isaac down
With a [F] broken heart, but my [C] father's proud.
And on this altar [F] where [C] he lay

find it wasn't him [G] God [C] wanted me.
