Lyrics

TAKE ME INSTEAD
(Intro – Choir – “Oh Yeah”)
Angels came down from the sky
On the day that he died
They read out his name
His soul they claimed
And then
Then he was gone
No lightening flashed
No thunder came
He went in peace
There was no pain
We watched
As they took him away
And on that hill
There stood a boy
Arms stretched wide
Face to the sky
He begged
He begged and cried
CHORUS
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my Dad
He did nothing to you
He was all that I had
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my friend
Right to the end
He held my hand
He was my Dad

Silence fell upon the land
No one cried
No one sang
The angels looked down
Their faces were sad
It was too late
What’s done
Is done
But what will come of me he cried
Without his love I’ll die
Spare my father
Give him back
Take me instead
CHORUS
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my Dad
He did nothing to you
He was all that I had
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my friend
Right to the end
He held my hand
He was my Dad
The Lord looked down
With mercy on the boy
I wish I could change my mind
But you are way too young my Son
It’s not yet your time
The gates closed
The angels left
The boy knelt down
And quietly wept

He cried
Take me instead
CHORUS
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my Dad
He did nothing to you
He was all that I had
Take me
Take me
Take me
Take me instead
He was my friend
Right to the end
He held my hand
He was my Dad
