Even Abraham

I preach that you give peace on earth

But there's no peace on mine

I sing 'you still the tempest roar'

But see i65

Cuz your hand holds the world

But when you give mine a knife

Is there sovereignty in this sacrifice?

I know where I stand

Blind to perfect plans

I've been told your promise will provide

But even Abraham

Saying here I am

Had to wonder if he heard you right

This faith's a firm foundation but it's shaken by your stones

Lord of pain when is the day you'll turn my sorrow into gold

Cause your throne is a pyre

But you're love can't be earned

So why is you're mercy asking me to burn?

I know where I stand

Blind to perfect plans

I've been told your promise will provide

But even Abraham

Saying here I am

Had to wonder if he heard you right

How do I praise you for a gift you'll ask me to give back

this blessing requires blood

Hear my cry oh great divine

But if this cup may pass

Will your will still come?

I know where I stand

Blind to perfect plans

I know that you're promise will provide

Teach me Abraham

To say here I am

Faithful is as faithful does each time

Cuz the lamb that's slain for me will not be mine
