about

Genesis 22

lyrics

You made my father lie to me
Lead me up a hill and tie me down
You made my father love You more
How could I forget what You said?

“Take now your only son whom you love
And offer up his blood to me
I will call you faithful, I will make you fruitful
But first give him up to Me”

You made my father hold a knife to me
Turn his face away and close his eyes
I held my breath, You changed Your mind
How could I forget what You said?

“Take now your only son whom you love
Untie his hands and feet, set him free
All the world will be blessed, all will call you righteous
But first go and set him free”

I couldn’t go back with him, I couldn’t turn back to You
Do You even comprehend what You put me through?
Are You just using me for some greater scheme?
Why have You forsaken me?

“Take now My only Son whom I love
And nail His body to a tree
I will call you blameless, bathe you with forgiveness
But first give Him up to Me”
