He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Genesis 22:2
Why this, Lord?
Why what I love
must be called for from above?
What I hold dear
must be surrendered clear.
Why lose what I love, Lord?
When You know I love You
and want to obey You too…
You look hard at my heart
call me to follow and depart.
Why so final, Lord?
Why call me to sacrifice
what is already Yours in this life?
Yet because You first gave it
I can sacrifice it.
Why this, Lord?
Why must it die
so obedience is my reply?
Yet if you want what I give again to live
resurrection power You will always give.
Why this, Lord?
Why do You ask me to give away
what You give to me every day?
Because in giving up to You
I treasure that which is true.
Why this, Lord?
Why call me to sacrifice and pain?
Exactly what will I gain?
I know what You call me now to do
You will give me the power to go through.
