A voice was callin’
With the wind it was blowin’
Weavering like a river
A message to deliver
The day Abraham took his son
He said “Thy will be done”
For three days they’ve gone
To find in the mountains the place
Of which God had spoken
And he looked up and he saw
The Shrine will be named
“The Lord will provide”
The day Abraham took his son
What his mother’s done
Did she fall beneath the sun
Implorin’, prayin’, cryin’ for mercy ?
Did she try to save your life
Or did she agree there to kill you on
The Shrine will be named
“The Lord will provide”
The day Abraham took his son
Did the boy never moan
Speachless, but for one question :
“My father, a murderer
As mother’s chasing my halfbrother”.
And the answer to see you could be
The sheep to slaughter on
The Shrine will be named
“The Lord will provide”
