Genesis 22:1-14 & Hebrews 11:17-19
Three days journey to the sacred place
A boy and a man with a sorrowful face
Tortured yet faithful to God`s command
To take the life of son with his own hands
Chorus
God will provide a Lamb
To be offered up in your place
A sacrifice so spotless and clean
To take all your sin away
Here`s wood and fire, where`s the sacrifice
A questioning voice and the innocent eyes
Is the son of laughter who you waited for
To die like a lamb to please the Lord
Chorus
A gleaming knife, an accepted choice
A rush of wind and an angel`s voice
A ram in the thicket caught by his horns
And a new age of trusting the Lord is born
For God has provided a Lamb
He was offered up in your place
What Abraham was asked to do he has done
He`s offered his only son
What Abraham was asked to do he has done
He`s offered his only son
