THE ALTAR CALL |
LyricsVerse: The preacher told the story of God's loveHow Jesus died for our sins and shed his blood Preacher said the holy moment has come for your soul Won't you come to the altar let him make you whole Chorus: When you hear the altar call, make no mistake It's your name he is calling don't hesitate Don't wait for tomorrow may be too late For this may very well be your last altar call Verse: Slowly the young man rose from his seat Quickly moved to the altar and fell on his knees With tears he cried lord please forgive me The joy that flooded his soul was clear for all to see Chorus: When you hear the altar call, make no mistake It's your name he is calling don't hesitate Don't wait for tomorrow may be too late For this may very well be your last altar call Verse: His wife had prayed so long for this moment to come They laughed and talked on the way home Suddenly a car from no one hit them head on As he lay dying these words he said before he was gone Bridge: Thank you lord for saving me Thank you lord for setting me free Thank you lord for saving grace Now I' m ready to see your face Chorus: When you hear the altar call, make no mistake It's your name he is calling don't hesitate Don't wait for tomorrow may be too late For this may very well be your last altar call For this may very well be your last altar call |
| Short Song Description: inspired by the sincerity of an altar call made by my pastor, Apostle R. D. Henton of Monument of Faith church in Chicago, Ill. |
| Long Song Description: A thought provoking song that will change the way you think about altar call. |
| Story Behind the Song: Apostle R. D. Henton, pastor of Monument of Faith in Chgo, Ill and my pastor labors over altar call. On this occassion he was laboring over the altar call and not a soul responded. Yet, I felt in my spirit that there was a soul who should have responded. I thought about the possibility that the altar call could have been the last altar call for that soul. |
