I Just Wanted You to Know

God told Abraham
Take Isaac up the mountain
And there make him a sacrifice to Me
I know tears rolled down
And breath was hard to come by
While Abraham
Was knelt there on his knees

So hand in hand
They headed up the mountain
And he thought about
The thing that lay in store
Like shattered glass
Inside his heart was breaking
'Cause he's never known
A pain like this before

Too soon they reached that spot
Where they were going
And he laid Isaac down on his death bed
His heart raced
As he drew the knife to strike him
But a God of mercy
Stopped him and He said

I just wanted you to know
Exactly how it feels
To watch a son you love
Walk up a lonely hill
To feel the pain inside
As your heart breaks in your chest
To lose the very thing
That you love the best
So now you've walked the walk
And I know you understand
The price that must be paid
To correct the sins of man
You'll know just how I feel
When they walk him up that hill

I just wanted you to know
