Verse 1(C)Abraham prayed for the day
God would (F)give him a (C)son
Blessed Isaac was his name
The greatest (D)gift he’d ever (G)known
Then came the (C)day, who would have dreamed
God would (F)say “Give him to (C)me
On this mountain you will prove,
It’s you and Isaac, or it’s (G)me and (C)you”
Chorus
When I lay my (F)Isaac (C)down
Broken (F)heart but my Fathers (C)proud
On this altar here he lays
Just to find it wasn’t him He (G)wanted (C)me
Verse 2
Most of us I’d dare to say
Have an Isaac in God’s way
On the Altar God will prove
It’s not your Isaac that he wants
He wants you
Chorus
When I lay my Isaac down
Broken heart but my Fathers proud
On this altar here he lays
Just to find it wasn’t him He wanted me
