Abraham's Offering 歌词

Abraham, you called to me I am ready, Lord; what do you want of me? Take your son, your only one Your joy above all things You shall journey up the mountain To the place of which I speak You shall lay him on the altar You shall give him back to me And I did not sleep that night And my agony gave birth to the morning light For three timeless days my son walked by my side And Isaac turned to me as we approached the chosen height Father, I carry the wood, and you carry the flame But where is the lamb for the sacrifice of praise? I said, “God will provide; what he asks for we must do O God I trust in you This was the child you gave to me The fruit of all my prayers I offered fervently My son, my only one, you bore the wood for me I took it from his shoulders When our journey was complete I began to build the altar Then I bound his hands and feet Then I looked into his eyes I saw the confusion and I heard his cries Father, why are you doing this? Please say something to me! But silence was my sole reply I could no longer speak Then I laid him on the wood and I shook like the flame With trembling hands I took the knife and prayed for strength I do not understand but my love for you is true O God I trust in you O Abraham, the Lord cried out to me Do not slay your son; do not harm him in the least Now I know that there is nothing you won’t do Now I know your love for me is true By your faith, every nation shall find blessing in your name You have trusted in my promise So your kingdom shall be great You’ll have descendants countless as the stars And sands of the sea All the world’s been blessed Through your obedience to me Jesus in his agony I am ready, Lord, what do you want of me? My Son, my only one, my face revealed to see You shall journey up the mountain to the cross on Calvary You shall lay down on the altar You shall die to set them free And you did not sleep that night And your agony gave birth to the morning light For three timeless hours, you made one last sacrifice To save us by your blood and offer us eternal life Lamb of God upon the wood With the Spirit’s burning flame The Father gave His only Son as the Lamb to be slain To fulfill every hope that your promises are true O God I trust In Jesus I trust In Jesus I trust in you
