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

Have an Isaac in God’s way
On the Altar God will prove
It’s not your Isaac that he wants
G C
He wants you
