LYRICS:
O Lord, our God, what have You done In telling Abraham to kill his son? He split the wood and honed his knife. Why should he take so precious a life? For Isaac was the promised seed In whom Your covenant would proceed. You gave a ram instead to die And blessed all nations through that child.
O Lord, our God, what have You done In giving Jesus, Your only Son? He healed the sick and brought us light. Why should You take so precious a life? For Jesus was the promised Seed By Whom His people would be freed. When we deserved to die you gave Your Servant that we would be saved.
