An Altar Call

An old rugged book Was the only thing I took To the altar call I craved emancipation From chaos I craved salvation. I must answer redemption's Call I heard two voices in thin air I heard them clear in my head. I heard a third voice again From the podium My heart squeezed I even sneezed, For the sudden cold That engulfed me. Is my neighbour watching me? Will he laugh to see me sing; "I surrender all?" God! One step, Two step Three step Four... I was there I did not fall. Now, I'm glad I did Answer redemption's call
