I have a prayer as pure as gold
That where You lead me I will go
And I'll not miss the impassioned plea
When Your sweet Spirit calls to me
And in that hour and in that time
When I must lose my will in Thine
All my allegiance will be found
The day I lay my Isaac down
Grant me a faith beyond all doubt
Whose flames of hope cannot burn out
Let mercy fall and grace abound
The day I lay my Isaac down
Sweet lamb of love
Most blessed Friend
Nailed to the alter for my sin
Where in my place God's Son was bound
The day He laid His Jesus down
Each idol vain is now laid bare
His suffering cross my heart will share
Earth's kingdoms fall without a sound
The day I lay my Isaac down
My soul redeemed on holy ground
The day I lay my Isaac down
