Morning dawn had arisen

Abraham saddled his donkey

Took his two young men with him

And Isaac

his beloved son.

Lord

You’re God’s only Son

And of God begotten

“This is My beloved Son

in whom

I am well-pleased.”

To his young men he said then

“Stay and we’ll return to you.”

To Moriah he led him

His son Isaac

just them two.

Just the son and the father

Speaking with one another.

Isaac said

“My father!” Abraham

said

“Here I am.”

As You spoke with Your Father

You bore the wood God laid on You;

As a lamb to the slaughter

Obedient to the death were You.

Precious blood of a Lamb

Slain from when earth began

Laid Your life down for Your sheep

in love

that I might live.

Man of sorrows

I love You.

From You men did hide their face.

With no majesty to You

Despised

forsaken

and disgraced.

For my sins You were crushed.

Lord

I love You so much.

Chastened

scourged and then pierced through

my griefs

and sorrows bore.

Dead in sins and offenses

I’m a bruised reed—smoking flax.

Yet to death You were given

For of Your sheep

You’d not lose one.

Like the woman

I’d weep

Flow my tears at Your feet.

Jesus Lord

I just love You—dear Lord

Jesus my Lord.
