[Verse 1]
Ever since I was a boy
I was taught to have faith
The size of a mustard seed was all it would take
They said that faith would make me
A child of Abraham
But they never talked about the knife in his hand
[Chorus]
Should I long for the mountain if that's where the altar is?
I thought faith meant power, but it feels like powerlessness
I have so many things I could give as a sacrifice
But the only thing You seem interested in is my life
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like Isaac
Walking up the hill
Father's easy to follow when you don't know His will
And how you view things goin' up
Is differеnt coming down
You gotta learn to trust the "Who" when you don't know thе "how"
[Chorus]
When your back's against the table, you really start to think
Do I believe what I have faith for, or do I have faith to believe?
'Cause I thought standing by Your side would shield me from loss
But here You stand handing me a cross
Ever since I was a boy
I was taught to have faith
The size of a mustard seed was all it would take
They said that faith would make me
A child of Abraham
But they never talked about the knife in his hand
[Chorus]
Should I long for the mountain if that's where the altar is?
I thought faith meant power, but it feels like powerlessness
I have so many things I could give as a sacrifice
But the only thing You seem interested in is my life
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel like Isaac
Walking up the hill
Father's easy to follow when you don't know His will
And how you view things goin' up
Is differеnt coming down
You gotta learn to trust the "Who" when you don't know thе "how"
[Chorus]
When your back's against the table, you really start to think
Do I believe what I have faith for, or do I have faith to believe?
'Cause I thought standing by Your side would shield me from loss
But here You stand handing me a cross
