Original lyrics
ENI was counting on the promises of my sweet Lord
Waited all my life for the child to be born
Hallelujah, hallelujah, for the day had come
Then God said: Lay him down, for his days are done
Here I am
I'm waiting for you
Can't ignore your word no more, Lord
And here am I
I'll take the knife to kill my pride
But You'll provide through Jesus Christ
Here am I
God spoke to me
He said
Offer up your son upon that Word
And I obeyed the voice of God
Because I know that He is good
Then an angel spoke and said instead
The Father gave a ram (yeah)
God in thorns like crown upon the great I am
Here I am
I'm waiting for you
Can't ignore your word no more, Lord
And here am I
I'll take the knife to kill my pride
But You'll provide through Jesus Christ
La, la, la, la
Here am I
La, la, la, la, la
Your promises still seem so far away
But here I am, Lord, for you I'll wait
I'm climbing up the mountain Idols in hell
I'll cast 'em on the altar
It'll look too late
Here I am
I'm waiting for you
Can't ignore your word no more, Lord
And here am I
I'll take the knife to kill my pride
But You'll provide through Jesus Christ
Here am I
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
