Oh what was on his mind by -matt- He went to the peak Oh what was on his mind We know who he seek The one who is divine He didn't bring a lamb or sheep He didn't bring an once of gold Some may say he was cheap But God knew what he would hold By his side stood his son And our heavenly father Up ahead laid the stones And ash that no one bothered Forward he led his son The only one he had And set him upon the stones To make God glad Ho what was on his mind There laid his only begotten son The one promised from the divine Could he really finish what he begun Oh what was on his mind Was God the only one Oh What was on his mind Fear to lose his begotten son There wasn't a moment of pause He must have known that God was fair Because, although he didn't know the cause He rose the knife into the air. Oh what was on his mind There he stood, ready to attack He was told to by the divine And he would not turn his back It was time to end the prelim He swung downward, silent like a mime And an angel came and stopped him Just in the nick of time Oh what was on his mind God knew he’d do the rest Oh what was on his mind He now knew it was just a test It was time to end the dread He has passed the test Then a ram appeared up ahead He'll use it to do the rest Oh what was on his mind His son was set free Oh what was on his mind He would've finished the deed Oh what was on his mind Will I know when I am older Oh what was on his mind I know God was on his shoulder Hoped you all enjoyed it.I know, it's long |

NIV Genesis 22:2-13 '2Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you." 6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" 8 Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together. 9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. 12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." 13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

Encarta, you've retold this timeless story so well and I do love the fact that God replayed this entire scene at Calvary with his own Son. Great job you've done. Cheryl |

Thanks for your replies I'm glad you all like it. I'm trying to start another one, but I got to pick who to do it on. There's too many possibilities |

Well, they won't let me edit now, it's been too long. I noticed two errors, that I didn't see before. One of the paragraphs started with a ho instead of a oh, and in the end it should say, "I know God's hand was on his shoulder" |
