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
