a rainy night

Yep it's raining outside, and my ceiling was leaking drip drip drip, but the dripping has stopped, though the drizzle persists. I'm trying to study, but talking to people online is more tempting a proposition, and playing from itunes on my laptop is the "city on a hill- the gathering" cd that I just got from wesley owen's bargain pile today. And this is the song playing on repeat... beautiful. Sacrifice and obedience- but there is none greater than Jesus Christ's complete obedience to the Father, His sacrifice on the cross for us.

Holy is the Lord

Wake up little Isaac
And rub your tired eyes
Go and kiss your mama
We’ll be gone a little while
Come and walk beside me
Come and hold your papa’s hand
I go to make an altar
And to offer up my lamb

I waited on the Lord
And in a waking dream He came
Riding on a wind across the sand
He spoke my name
“Here I am,” I whispered
And I waited in the dark
The answer was a sword
That came down hard upon my heart

Holy is the Lord, holy is the Lord
And the Lord I will obey
Lord, help me I don’t know the way

So take me to the mountain
I will follow where You lead
There I’ll lay the body
Of the boy You gave to me
And even though You take him
Still I ever will obey
But Maker of this mountain, please
Make another way

Holy is the Lord, holy is the Lord
And the Lord I will obey
Holy is the Lord, holy is the Lord
And the Lord I will obey
Lord, help me I don’t know the way


This song tells the bible story of Abraham's sacrificing his precious son Isaac, as recorded in Genesis 22:1-18. It speaks of Abraham's unwavering trust and obedience in his Almighty God. An obedience rooted in such faith, placed in an eternally faithful Lord.

Lord I will obey, Lord help me I don't know the way.
