C.T. Townsend Version - When I Lay My Isaac Down
Found the lyrics here in the comments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMjPvmawLJ0
Now Abraham prayed for the day,Â
That God would give him a sonÂ
Blessed Isaac was his name,Â
The greatest gift he'd ever knownÂ
Then came the day, who would have dreamedÂ
God would say "Gotta Give him to meÂ
On this mountain you Must prove,Â
It's you and Isaac, or it's me and you"Â
When I lay my Isaac down,Â
With a Broken heart but my Fathers proud,Â
On this altar where he laysÂ
Just to find it wasn't him God wanted meÂ
Most of us I'd dare to sayÂ
With an Isaac in God's wayÂ
On this Altar you can proveÂ
It's not your Isaac that God wantsÂ
He wants you..Â
When I lay my Isaac downÂ
With a Broken heart but my Fathers proudÂ
On this altar where he laysÂ
Just to find it wasn't him God wanted me
We do have this in our archive

In C.T Townsend version, he had some more lyrics, he sangs
Here is some of the words ---> I surrender all to Jesus . . . . . . . ..( plus more lyrics )
And I have noticed the other artists who sangs this song don't add the other lyrics for some reason , Mr. Townsend does.

C.T. Townsend Version - When I Lay My Isaac Down
Here is the transcription from the C.T Townsend recording
Abraham prayed for the day
God would give him a sonÂ
Blessed Isaac was his nameÂ
The greatest gift he'd ever knownÂ
Then came the day, who would have dreamedÂ
God would say you gotta give him back to meÂ
And on this mountain you must proveÂ
That it's you and Isaac or it's me and youÂ
So when I lay my Isaac down
With a Broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
On this altar where he layÂ
Just to find it that it wasn't him
God wanted meÂ
Now most of us I'd dare to sayÂ
Oh we've got an Isaac standing in God's way
But it's on this altar you too can proveÂ
That it's not your Isaac that God wantsÂ
But He wants you
And when I lay my Isaac downÂ
With a broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
And on this altar where he lay
Just to find that it wasn't him
God wanted me
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live
Oh and I surrender all
Yeah I surrender all
All to Thee my Blessed Savior
When I lay my Isaac downÂ
With a broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
And on this altar where he lay
Just to find that it wasn't him
God wanted me
Abraham prayed for the day
God would give him a sonÂ
Blessed Isaac was his nameÂ
The greatest gift he'd ever knownÂ
Then came the day, who would have dreamedÂ
God would say you gotta give him back to meÂ
And on this mountain you must proveÂ
That it's you and Isaac or it's me and youÂ
So when I lay my Isaac down
With a Broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
On this altar where he layÂ
Just to find it that it wasn't him
God wanted meÂ
Now most of us I'd dare to sayÂ
Oh we've got an Isaac standing in God's way
But it's on this altar you too can proveÂ
That it's not your Isaac that God wantsÂ
But He wants you
And when I lay my Isaac downÂ
With a broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
And on this altar where he lay
Just to find that it wasn't him
God wanted me
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live
Oh and I surrender all
Yeah I surrender all
All to Thee my Blessed Savior
When I lay my Isaac downÂ
With a broken heart but my Father's proudÂ
And on this altar where he lay
Just to find that it wasn't him
God wanted me

Ah, I do Thank You, very much, SongInMyHeart for all your help, you have gave me.
And, that is really interesting and good how Mr . Townsend have incorporated another song (hymn - I Surrender All ) within this song. (when I lay my Isaac down ).
And I see why to because the song of when I lay my Isaac down is about our will has to surrender to Jesus, no matter what we want. The best thing for us is always yield our whole being to God.
Thank Again and God Bless You, SongInMyHeart
