Lyrics:

I heard the voice at break of day,
“Take the boy, lead him away.
Up the mountain, don’t look behind,
Lay the wood, obey the sign.”
Steps grew heavy, shadows long,
My heart was weak, but the call was strong.
The hill kept rising, I held my breath,
Walking closer to a living death.

The fire carried, the wood was laid,
Every step another blade.
The knife concealed beneath my cloak,
Every heartbeat heaven spoke.
I held his gaze, he trusted still,
We climbed the silence of that hill.
I built the altar, stacked the stone,
Prayed to God I was not alone.

Oh the fire burns, the shadows stand,
The boy is bound by the Father’s hand.

The knife and the ram, the test and the plan,
Will the Father’s hand fall, or will mercy stand?
In the thicket caught, in the silence slammed,
The story is told in the knife and the ram.

“Father, where’s the lamb to bleed?
We have the fire, the wood, the need.”
You looked at me, your voice was torn,
“My son, the Lord will provide His own.”
Then ropes pressed hard against my skin,
I did not fight, I let you begin.
The sky grew dark, I closed my eyes,
Ready to meet the sacrifice.

The knife and the ram, the test and the plan,
Will the Father’s hand fall, or will mercy stand?
In the thicket caught, in the silence slammed,
The story is told in the knife and the ram.

But a cry broke through the forest air,
A ram was tangled, waiting there.
Not my blood on the altar’s flame,
But another’s life the Lord had claimed.

Another hill, another Son,
The wood was carried, the work was done.
But this time no ram would take His place,
The knife would fall, the sky would break.
The Lamb of God, His body torn,
The crown of thorns, the cross of scorn.
The Father gave, He did not stay,
The Son was slain to make a way.

The knife and the ram, the test and the plan,
Will the Father’s hand fall, or will mercy stand?
In the thicket caught, in the silence slammed,
The story is told in the knife and the ram.

Now I see through the shadow’s frame,
Every story whispers His name.
From the mountain’s fire to the rugged tree,
The Lamb was slain to set us free.
The ground was stained, the curse undone,
The Father’s will, the risen Son.
We sing the mercy, we lift the Lamb,
Forever told in the knife and the ram.

The knife and the ram, the test and the plan,
The mercy of God in the Son of Man.
From the thicket thorn to the Great I Am,
The world is redeemed by the knife and the ram.
