about

Human sacrifice to the gods was accepted by many in the ancient world. This song imagines emotions Abraham may have gone through as he is asked to sacrifice his son, Isaac.

lyrics

I have walked in righteousness, following Your plan;
I wonder of your promise, of people many as the sand.
I would give my eyes to see that promise stand;
I would give my life, to have Isaac home again.

Yet I have had your shelter along the road from Ur;
I cannot forsake You now, so I'll obey Your word.
Isaac God has spoken! A sacrifice He asks ...
Gather sticks around you ... and lie upon your back.

Abram you are righteous ... I will not ask this of you;
All the words of promise, surely will come true.
I too have a son ... precious in My sight;
Look unto the thicket, your God will provide.

(Words from Genesis)
But in blessing I will bless thee multiplying thy seed as the stars of the heaven; and as the sand on the seashore.
