My Isaac by Jason Vanderlaan

My Isaac

by Jason Vanderlaan

I'm walking up this mountain

Carrying in my hands:

My precious dream,

My cherished hope,

My Isaac.

And though I can't see tomorrow

Or what the future holds

I'm letting it all go:

Offering up my Isaac,

Just for You.

I'm bringing up this mountain

Your promised gift to me:

My beloved dream,

My treasured hope,

My Isaac.

And I don't know if You'll provide

A ram to sustain Your promise

Or if I'll go down this mountain alone

But I'm laying down my Isaac,

Just for You.

Here, upon this altar,

I'll make this sacrifice:

My offering to You,

My one and only.

My Isaac.

And I don't know what will happen next

As this knife is raised into the air

But I know I will obey You

Even if I have to give up my Isaac

Just for You.
