I Lay My Isaac Down
(Gen. 21-22)

1.	Dear Lord I lay my Isaac down
Though not like Abraham,
Not as obedient as he was.
You have rejected all of my Ishmaels.
And still requires my only one;
Whom You have given me.

2.	I offer You my Isaac now
Though he’s so precious
And seemed the only one I have;
You have provided and You can take again;
It’s up to You; my only plea
Lord, have Your way in me.

3.	I give to You my Isaac, though
My heart is torn apart
Bring him to resurrection life;
All days of waiting have turned rejoicing,
As I surrender him to You,
You gave him back to me.

4.	Return to You my Isaac’s vow,
And then like Abraham,
Fulfill that covenant to us.
As You have promised, make me a blessing
Bring us to Promised Land of rest,
To share and join the feast!
