ISAAC & ABRAHAM
|
(Written by Joan Baez, Wally Wilson, & Kenny Greenberg)
|
|
Hard times, hard times in Canaan land
|
Trouble in the mind of a man
|
A voice came whispering softly to him
|
Go offer, offer up the lamb
|
|
Abraham took his only son
|
High up on a hill
|
His test of faith had finally come
|
As the wind, the wind begin to chill
|
|
Cold steel, cold steel in the father's hand
|
Tears falling from the sky
|
The angels, the angels did not understand
|
Why the righteous, the righteous boy should die
|
|
Then Abraham most mysteriously
|
Laid down that deadly knife
|
Said "My darlin' son, I wish I was the one
|
Who spared you, spared your precious life"
|
|
Oh Isaac
|
The light of all your days
|
Will shine upon this mountain high
|
And never, never fade away
|
And never fade away
