D	      A 
Wake up little Isaac 
    D	    A	G 
And rub your tired eyes 
       A	        D 
Go and kiss your mama 
         G	    A 
We’ll be gone a little while 
G	A   D 
Come and walk beside me 
          	A      G 
Come and hold your papa’s hand 
        A       D 
I go to make an altar 
       G     A     D 
And to offer up my lamb 

D A D G 

D               A 
I waited on the Lord 
         D      A        G 
And in a waking dream He came 
       A    D               G 
Riding on a wind across the sand 
            A 
He spoke my name 
G       A      D  
“Here I am”, I whispered 
             A      G 
And I waited in the dark 
           A     D 
The answer was a sword 
               G    A       D 
That came down hard upon my heart 

G    Bm	   D 
Holy is the Lord 
     A      G 
Holy is the Lord 
        D      G    A 
And the Lord I will obey 
      G               A        D 
Lord, help me I don’t know the way 

D  AG  D  AG   A DG DA DG AD 
HoHo 

D                 A 
So take me to the mountain 
       D      A         G 
I will follow where You lead 
        A          D 
There I’ll lay the body 
       G               A 
Of the boy You gave to me 
G        A          D 
And even though You take him 
             A    G 
Still I ever will obey 
          A       D         G 
But Maker of this mountain, please 
G    A       D 
Make another way
