When I Lay My Isaac Down

Abraham, prayed for the day

God would give him a son

Blessed Isaac was his name

The greatest gift he'd ever known

Then came the day

Who would have dreamed

God would say, "You got to give him back to me

And on this mountain, you must prove

That it's you with Isaac

Or it's Me and you"

So, when I lay my Isaac down

With a broken heart, but my Father's proud

And on this altar where he lay

Just to find that it wasn't him, God wanted me

Now, most of us, I'd dare to say

Oh, with God and Isaac standing in God's way

But it's on this altar, you, too, can prove

That it's not your Isaac that God wants

But He wants you

And when I lay my Isaac down

With a broken heart, but my Father's proud

And on this altar where he lays

Just to find that it wasn't him, God wanted me

And when I lay my Isaac down

With a broken heart, but my Father's proud

And on this altar where he lays

Just to find that it wasn't him, God wanted me

And on this altar where he lays

Just to find that it wasn't him, but God wanted me

All to Jesus, I surrender

All to Him I freely give

I, I will ever, I'll love and I'll trust Him

In His presence, daily live

Oh, and I surrender all

Yeah, I surrender all

All to Thee, my blessed saviour

I, I surrender all

And when I lay my Isaac down

With a broken heart, but my Father's proud

And on this altar where he lays

Just to find that it wasn't him, God wanted me

On this altar where he lays

Just to find that it wasn't him, God wanted me
