Altar Call
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Most people don't find out
'Till it's too late
That someone has to pay the price
You can pay it yourself (hah!)
Or let someone else
But who would be that nice?
To pay a debt that isn't his
Well I know someone like that
And he's your best friend
He really is
He really loves you
Most people don't find out
'Till they're half dead
That they need another life
You say you've heard everything
That's ever been said
About the way, the truth, the life
You say you've heard lots of preaching
All before
So many times
But did you ever open up your door
Give him a chance
To prove himself
Well he's real you know
I hope you find out
Before it's too late
That there is really nobody else
You know it's breaking his heart
The longer you wait
'Cause you've only been lying to yourself
'Cause
No one believes a thing you say
Not even you
You know
You're gonna find out that he's the way
No matter which way you choose
But I pray you
Find out by his love for you
Some people won't find out
'Till it's too late
