Abraham Tested

Why have you told me this;

"Take your son, your only son, whom you love - Isaac - and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."

You gave me a son with the woman that I love

So how can I do what you've asked me to do?

It took so long for him to be born

And now you want me to cut his life short

Oh why

I maintain my faith

Do as you say

It's now been three days

And we're marching on

Wood on his back

Fire and knife in my hand

As we get closer to the top the guilt overwhelms me

My son has no clue on what's happening

Doesn't know he'll be the burnt offering

Now he's bound, tied up

Laying on top of wood

The altar I'm about to set to flames

I take a knife ready to slay

"Abraham! Abraham! Do not lay a hand on the boy."

There's a ram for the sacrifice

Praise to God you saved his life

Because I have obeyed

"I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky"

Lord Will Provide

Lord Will Provide

Thank you for your mercy thank you for your grace

Only to you I am afraid
