Review<Song>: Will you 'sacrifice' your son to God ?

Geezer: (S2) for All Songs | It’s your touch | Sacrifice

 

Well, Abraham almost did his ‘sacrifice’ as depict by this very sad and touching song, aptly name Sacrifice, written and sang by Bob Fitts, a well-known international Christian Evangelist, composer and singer.

The song scaringly depicts the feeling of Abraham’s promised sacrifice of his son and also God’s sacrifice of his beloved son. Abraham’s faith is put to test by God when God ask him to sacrifice his son,Isaac, to prove his faithfulness and belief.

The following video with the song in the background superbly highlight the traumatic state of Abraham as he about to kill his son on a altar, and as he do so, he recalled those past event of having his son been conceived till growth up. But as Abraham about to kill his son , God stop him because God is only testing him.

The second stage of video shows God’s son, Jesus, carrying the cross across the street to the hill for crucification. It show a gluesome scene of Jesus’s bloody body and his crucification process and suffering (Not for the fainted heart ! ).

 

 

The youthful and ageless Bod Fitt

I have known this song when it is released in Bob’s best-selling debut album, Take My Healing to the Nations in late 1980s.

 

 

This album has also produce some outstanding tracks (who video not available in Youtube)

• Healing To The Nations
• It’s His Touch
• Is That Really You Lord

Beware for those sensitive soul. Prepare for some tissues because this will surely move everyone to tears.

Sacrifice

 

GeekCoder couldn’t find this lyrics on internet, which is quite surprising consider the popularity of this song in the Christian world. Perhaps it is God’s will that GeekyCoder have to type this himself . So here it is after ten minutes of typing in the middle of the night (Do GeekyCoder ever sleep ? hmmm, he’s a nocturnal. Sleep by day, active by night, but don’t worry, he’s not a , he just love the tranquility of the night ). As this lyrics is typed around 4am, the sky suddenly turn red with thunderous sound, and strong wind blow across his room. Maybe God is pleased with GeekyCoder’s ‘sacrifice’, not his ‘son’, but his time for this post, haha .

Anyway, here it is. As the song is been transcribed, there are still some words that could not be decipher but it’s close enough.

Sacrifice by Bob Fitts

Oh, this must be the hardest hill I ever climb

for I must sacrifice you promise son of mine

and so I go and worship you by my side

and trust the sacrifice you have 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 must now offer you

for surely he could rise you up again

Here on the altar father i lay all my dream

And offer back to you this child you given me

oh son you must believe he call us to obey

and by his love, he make a better way

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 now offer you

for surely he will rise you up again

Oh Abraham, Oh Abraham,

now that I know you fear my name, withhold your hand,

Oh Abraham, oh faithful man

your only son, he’s not the one,

behold the lamb, behold the lamb,

It must have be the hardest thing he ever done

when God the father sacrifice his only son.

the one that he most cherish give his life away

and by his love, he make a better way

and so I cherish you, and so I honour you

and truely you are all the giver of all good thing

and so I cherish you, and so I honour you

your sacrifice is now the king of kings.

Jehovah-Jireh, he has provided,

the sacrifice of love no man could ever give

and what he requires you and me, even the hardest thing

your blood of christ , your sacrifice to me is straight to obey.
