When I Lay My Isaac Down
by Mike Upright

Album: Songs For The Common Man

Abraham, prayed for the day,
God would give him a son,
Blessed Isaac was name,
The greatest gift he'd ever known;
Then came the day,
Who would have dreamed,
God would say "Abraham, give him back to me,
And on this mountain you must prove,
That it's you and Isaac,
Or it's me and you.

When I lay my Isaac down,
With a broken heart,
But my Father's proud,
On this altar where he lays,
Just to find it wasn't him God wanted me.

Most of us I'd dare to say,
Have an Isaac in God's way;
On this Altar you can prove,
It's not your Isaac that God wants,
He's wanting you.

When I lay my Isaac down,
With a broken heart,
But my Father's proud,
On this altar where he lays,
Just to find it wasn't him he wanted me.

On this altar here he lays,
Just to find it wasn't him,
God wanted me
