A Fé de Abraão

One day
God spoke to Abraham
Prepare your heart
And listen to what I will say
You have just one son
This very one I will ask of you
Behold, I will give you everything
If, however, you do not deny me
Offer me
This beloved son of yours
As a holy sacrifice
On the mountain of Moriah
Serving as
In place of a lamb
I am the true God
To bless you

Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat
Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat

Early in the morning
Even without Sarah knowing
But he wanted to obey
The voice of the Lord Jehovah
He took Isaac
And the old donkey
And being tested by God
Heading to Moriah
It's not so easy
For a father to pass this test
To see a child die
With no way to save him
But still
Abraham went by faith
Hoping that the Lord
Would come to comfort him

Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat
Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat

At the foot of the mountain
He left all his servants
With a heart so broken
No words to say
He walked on
With Isaac by his side
And the sharp knife
To sacrifice his son
Isaac spoke
So painful for his father
I see the wood and the fire
But where's the lamb?
Abraham said
Almost wanting to cry
My son, the lamb
The Lord God will provide

Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat
Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat

He took Isaac
Placed him on the altar
And raised the knife
Ready to bleed
At that moment
An angel came and shouted
Abraham, don’t do it
I know you fear Jehovah
There in the thicket
He saw a ram
Caught by its horns
Ready to be sacrificed
I compare him
To that simple Lamb
My Lord Jesus Christ
Who died in my place

Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat
Oh
How it hurt
The pain of losing a child
In Abraham's heart it beat
