Luke Zephyr Take Me Instead Lyrics


Take Me Instead by Luke Zephyr

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.

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.

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.

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.
