Genesis 22 is the Binding of Isaac - the moment God commands Abraham to sacrifice his only son on Mount Moriah, and then provides a ram instead, naming the place “The LORD Will Provide.”
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
After these things God tested Abraham And said to him Abraham He said Here I am
He said Now take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love And go into the land of Moriah Offer him there as a burnt offering On one of the mountains which I will tell you of
Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey And took two of his young men with him And Isaac his son He split the wood for the burnt offering And rose up and went to the place of which God had told him
On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes And saw the place far off Abraham said to his young men Stay here with the donkey The boy and I will go over there We will worship and come back to you
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering And laid it on Isaac his son He took in his hand the fire and the knife They both went together Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said My father
He said Here I am, my son He said Here is the fire and the wood But where is the lamb for a burnt offering? Abraham said God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son So they both went together
They came to the place which God had told him of Abraham built the altar there And laid the wood in order Bound Isaac his son And laid him on the altar on the wood Abraham stretched out his hand And took the knife to kill his son
The LORD’s angel called to him out of the sky and said Abraham, Abraham He said Here I am He said Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him For now I know that you fear God Since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me
Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked And saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns Abraham went and took the ram And offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide
The LORD’s angel called to Abraham a second time out of the sky And said I have sworn by myself says the LORD Because you have done this thing And have not withheld your son, your only son That I will bless you greatly And I will multiply your offspring greatly like the stars of the heavens
