In Eternity's Eye
In eternity’s eye
where there is no time
what separates one moment,
one event, from another?
Father and son, atop the mount
Father and Son, atop the mount
On no account
A flowing fount
Will they turn back
Of bloody sweat
Though a lamb they lack
Worse is coming yet
Up they continue side by side
He climbs up his path, now alone
A knife he spied
Silence cold as stone
In Father’s hand
Forsaken now
Does he understand?
He fulfills his vow
Youthful eyes rounded large with fright
Human salvation to ensure
The boy bound tight
Hand held secure
Command now dropped
Here, now, it stops
The knife is stopped
The hammer drops
