[Verse 1]
One night an altar call was made a sinner boy a stray,
He sat there so lonely without a word to say.
Kneel down and ask forgiveness is what the preacher said,
for without another warning you may be called away.

[Chorus]
The service was just about over the preacher was so sad,
There’s something going to happen, oh Lord, I feel so bad.
(But) I'm going to ask the choir to sing just one more verse of song.
And while they are a singing won't you make heaven your home.

[Verse 2]
Then slowly from his seat did rise a boy with tear stained eyes
He's always been hardhearted and never afraid to die,
But now he's made the sacrifice and gave his heart to God.
And now he's up and shouting, thank You, dear Lord.

[Verse 3]
Then just a short while later before he reached his home
Death upon the highway went to carry that young man home,
But before he died that night, these last few words I recall.
I want to thank You, Lord, for that last altar call.

(Repeat Chorus)
