But on a beast of burden they traveled to the place
With wood for a sacrifice and faith in God’s grace
He took his son Isaac and laid him on the wood
Prepared to take his life but he understood
That if his life was taken
God could bring him back
For through him was the promise
His faith didn’t lack
Isaac asked his father
Where was the lamb?
There was to be an offering
Did he understand?
God will provide the offering
Was all that he could say
He then stretched out his hand
For the knife  to slay 

Then an angel called from heaven
As he looked up to see
Don’t slay your son Isaac
You’ve not withheld from me
His faith had passed the test
A truth would now unfold
A ram was then provided
 Just as he had told
The picture of this sacrifice that nearly came to be
Was a picture for the future for the entire world to see 

Indeed, would come a sacrifice and he would be His Son
The sacrificial Lamb of God
Israel’s Holy one
This time the blade would fall
To take the life within
A perfect sacrifice
Atonement for our sin

Now as Abraham had reckoned
God indeed could save
His Son who had died
Now rose from the grave.
