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
