Isaac And Abraham Lyrics

Hard times, hard times in Canaan landTrouble in the mind of a manA voice came whispering softly to himGo offer, offer up the lambAbraham took his only sonHigh up on a hillHis test of faith had finally comeAs the wind, the wind begin to chillCold steel, cold steel in the father's handTears falling from the skyThe angels, the angels did not understandWhy the righteous, the righteous boy should dieThen Abraham most mysteriouslyLaid down that deadly knifeSaid "My darlin' son, I wish I was the oneWho spared you, spared your precious life"Oh IsaacThe light of all your daysWill shine upon this mountain highAnd never, never fade awayAnd never fade away
