 C             E/G#         Am            F
Climbing and wondering and watching his face

My only son on the altar today
Dm             C/E       F           Gsus4
last night you said this was the only way
C            E/G#       Am             F
I raise the knife now I wish I wasn't sure
    C            E/G#           Am            F
but I know your clear voice it can't be ignored
Dm           C/E             F           C/E
And in this moment as your will takes my hand

I open my eyes and I see your plan

This Mountain and climbing will soon be my grave

bitter sweet memories the victories and shame
    C           E/G#      Am        F
The Red Sea the mana the pillar of flame

Your only son on the altar today
 Dm            C/E       F            Gsus4 G
last night you said this was the only way
 C           E/G#              Am          F
These angry crowds laid their robes on my feet
     C             E/G#      Am      F
And now they're demanding to crucify me
      Dm           C/E        F             C/E
And though I can't see you I know you will lead

And with my last breath I'll set them free

I'll set them free
