The Lord will Provide
Father, tell me, where's the lamb?
The flame and wood have been supplied.
Issac, answered Abraham,
the lamb will God himself provide.
Abba! Father! Take this cup,
I'm begging, as your only son;
if I must — I lift it up,
not my will but your will be done.
Abraham! an angel called,
Stop, Abraham! Release your knife!
Now I know you fear your God
by sparing not your own son's life.
God, My God, in grief he cries,
God, why have you forsaken me?
It is finished! Jesus dies:
the Lamb of God on Calvary.
Isaac left with Abraham,
returning down the mountainside;
leaving there the smoking ram
the Lord had chosen to provide.

So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
