verse 1 
C 
Abraham prayed for the day  
           F           C 
God would give him a son  

Blessed Isaac was his name  
              D              G 
The greatest gift he’d ever known  
                C 
Then came the day, who would have dreamed  
           F               C 
God would say “Give him to me 

On this mountain you will prove,  
                             G       C 
It’s you and Isaac, or it’s me and you” 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
C               F     C 
When I lay my Isaac down  
        F                    C 
Broken heart but my Fathers proud  
  
On this altar here he lays  
                                     G      C 
Just to find it wasn’t him he/(God) wanted me 

verse 2 
C               F        C 
Most of us I’d dare to say  
          F             C 
Have an Isaac in God’s way  

On the Altar God will prove  

It’s not your Isaac that he wants 
 G        C 
He wants you 


[Refrão]
Chorus (x2) 
C                F     C  
When I lay my Isaac down  
         F                    C 
Broken heart but my Fathers proud  

On this altar here he lays  
                                      G     C 
Just to find it wasn’t him he/(God) wanted me 

Outro

On this altar here he lays
