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
