Zydeco Lady Songtext
von Boozoo Chavis

oh this must be the hardest hill i′ve ever climbed
for i must sacrifice you promised son of mine
and so i go to worship with you by my side
and trust a sacrifice he will provide

and though i cherish you i must now offer you
to him who is the giver of all good things
and though i cherrish you i will now offer you
for surely he could raise you up again

here on this altar father i layvall my dreams
and offer back to you this child you've given me
oh son you must believe he′s called us to obey
and by his love he'll 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 raise you up again


o abraham o abraham
now that i know you fear my name
withhold your hand
o abraham o faithful man
your only son he's not the one
behold the lamb
behold the lamb

it must have been the hardest thing he′d ever done
when God the father sacrificed his only son
the one that he most cherished gave his life away
and by his love he made a better way

and so i cherish you and so i honour you
for truely you are the giver of all good things
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 pay
and what he requires of you and me
even the hardest thing
your blood o christ
your sacrifice gives me strength to obey
