danielle rose - abraham's offering lyrics

Loading...

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
