"Abraham," You called to me I am ready Lord, what do you want of me? "Take your son, your only one, your joy above all things You shall journey up the mountain To the place of which I speak You shall lay him on the altar You shall give him back to me." And I did not sleep that night But my agony gave birth to the morning light For three timeless days my son walked by my side And Isaac turned to me As we approached the chosen height "Father I carried the wood and you carried the flame But where is the lamb for the sacrifice of praise?" I said "God will provide what He asks for we must do" Oh God, I trust in you This was the child You gave to me The fruit of all my prayers I offered fervently My son, my only one, who bore the wood for me I took it from his shoulders when our Journey was complete I began to build the altar then I bounded his hands and feet. Then I looked into his eyes And saw the confusion and I heard his cries "Father why are you doing this? Please say something to me" But silence was my sole reply I could no longer speak. Then I laid him on the wood and shook like a flame With trembling hands I took the knife and Prayed for strength Oh I do not understand but my love for You is true Oh God I trust in You. "Abraham," the Lord cried out to me "Do not slay your son Do not harm him in the least Now I know that there is nothing you won't do Now I know your love for Me is true. By your grace every nation shall find Blessing in your name You have trusted in my promise So your kingdom shall be great You'll have descendants countless as the stars Sands of the sea All the world's been blessed through your Obedience to me." Jesus in His agony "I am ready Lord, what do you want of me?" My Son, my only one, my face revealed to see You shall journey up the mountain To the cross on Calvary You shall lay down on the altar You shall die to set them free And You did not sleep that night And Your agony gave birth to the morning light For three timeless hours You made one last sacrifice To save us by Your blood and offer us eternal life Lamb of God upon the wood with the Spirit's burning flame The Father gave his only Son as a Lamb to be slain To fulfill every hope that Your promises are true Oh God I trust in Jesus I trust in Jesus I trust in You |
