Our Father's Altar Call
by Barbara Philbrook

Pay attention, it's our Father's altar call,
you must come forward dear children one and all.

You must heed the call to take your stand,
come forward to the altar, standing hand in hand.

United and willing to give your all in all,
come forward dear children as you hear that altar call.

The time is coming, we must all recognize our Father's voice,
we must all be prepared to make our individual choice.

Something is about to happen, so if you want to take part,
come forward to the altar, loving God with all of your heart.

Partial dedication just won't do.
Our Father needs full yielding for what He expects from me and you.

Our Father's altar call will be sounding soon my dear sister and brother,
please pay attention this is different than any other.

He's beckoning us to listen, pleading we'll pay heed,
He's ready to go to battle, ready to proceed.

Determine to be ready, determine to give your all,
determine to participate in our Father's altar call!
