The Day I Lay My Isaac Down 

I have a prayer as pure as gold

That where You lead me, I will go

And I’ll embrace the holy plea

Each time Your Spirit calls to me

And in that hour, and in that time

When I must lose my ill in Thine

My true devotion will be found

The day I lay my Isaac down

Each sacrifice You call me to

I’ll die to self, I’ll live for You

Take up the cross, forsake the crown

The day I lay my Isaac down

Your Lamb of Love, Thy blessed friend

Nailed to the altar for each sin

There in my place Your Son was bound

The day You laid Your Isaac down
