Verse 1
First there was Abraham, then there was Isaac
Laid upon the alter they had built there.
There was a blade, raised up to heaven.
Then God heard Abraham’s unspoken prayer
Lord you spared his son and then forsook you own
No you couldn’t even look upon His face
Oh thank you father I know he took my place
Chorus
Oh great love, love so amazing I can’t comprehend
Oh great love, You sent down your only son to live among men
And to die on that old rugged tree,
So those that hated him most could go free
Father, Yours is the greatest love for me.
Verse 2
I have a son, he’s all I have his mother died the day that she gave life
Just memories are all that’s left of the beautiful young girl that was
my wife
I can’t imagine no not for the life of me sacrificing him to anyone
Oh but thank you father that’s exactly what you’ve done.
Verse 3
For God so loved this old cruel world, He sent His only son down to this earth
That whosoever believed in Him might not perish but instead receive new birth.
But he was hated by the ones He came to save yet He said, "not by will
but thine."
Oh thank you father I know that cross was mine.
