Sacrifice
Bob Fitts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For I must sacrifice you promised son of mine
And so I go to worship with you by my side
And trust a sacrifice He will provide
And though I cherish you, I must now offer you
To him who is the giver of all good things
And though I cherish you, I will not offer you
(second time) For surely He will raise you up again
Here on this alter Father I lay all my dreams
And offer back to you this child you've given me
Oh son you must believe He's called us to obey
And by His love He'll make a better way
O Abraham, O Abraham
Now that I know you fear my name
Withhold your hand
O Abraham, O faithful man
You're only son, He's not the one
Behold the ram, Behold the Lamb
It must have been the hardest thing He's ever done
When God the Father sacrificed his only son
The one that He most cherished gave His life away
And by His love He made a better way
2
And so I cherish you, And so I honor you
For truly you're the giver of all good things
And so I cherish you, and so I honor you
Your sacrifice is now the king of kings
3:
Jehova Jireh, he has provided
The sacrifice of love no man could ever pay
And what He requires of you and me
Even the hardest thing
Your blood, O Christ, your sacrifice gives me strength to obey.
MAKININHA
The lyrics to Bob Fitts's song Sacrifice delve into a powerful and emotional story of Abraham's obedience to God's call to sacrifice his only son. The first verse speaks of the difficulty of climbing a hill that represents the hardship and sacrifice Abraham is facing. He is asked to give up his promised son, but has faith that God will provide a sacrifice. The second verse shows Abraham's willingness to lay down his dreams and offer up his child to God. He believes that God has called him to obey, even in the face of such a difficult request. The third verse speaks of God's provision, as he provides a ram in place of Abraham's son. This shows that God's love and faithfulness are never failing, and he always provides a way.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the pain and difficulty of the sacrifice that Abraham had to make. He cherishes his son, and must now offer him up to God. But he has hope that God will provide and shows trust in Him. The repetition of the line "For surely He will raise you up again" emphasizes the faith and belief that Abraham has in God's power.
The bridge of the song brings in a parallel to the story of Abraham and Isaac through the story of Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. God the Father sacrifices his only son, showing the depth of his love for us. Through Jesus's sacrifice, he makes a way for us to be reconciled with God. The line "Your sacrifice is now the king of kings" further emphasizes the importance and impact of Jesus's sacrifice.
Overall, the lyrics to Sacrifice are a powerful testament to the strength of faith and obedience. They remind us that even in the most difficult of situations, God's love and provision are never far away.
