Climbing and wondring and watching his face
My only son on the altar today
I have been called to give him away
I raise the knife now, I wish I wasn’t sure
I know your clear voice, it can’t be ignored
And in this moment when your will takes my hand
I open my eyes and I see your plan
I said goodbye to my people today
I warned them and blessed them and then walked away
This mountain I’m climbing will soon be my grave
Bittersweet memories the victories and shame
The red sea the manna the pillars of flame
This promise before me the home of our dreams
I learned to serve You set them free
You set them free
Chorus
View from the top
I can see eternity from here
This view from the top
The purpose of my sacrifice made clear
I would climb this lonely hill
I would give my life again
All for a view from the top
Screaming and darkness I can’t see your face
Your only son on the altar today
Last night you said this was the only way
These angry crowds laid their robes at my feet
Now they’re demanding to crucify me
Though I can’t see you I know you will lead
With my last breath I’ll set them free, I’ll set them
free
This journey that I’m taking from the valley to the heights
It has all been of your making it is faith becoming sight
