Altar


Daddy said

Come with me

Daddy grabbed

An altar and wood

I asked Daddy

Where is the Lamb

Daddy said nothing

 

Daddy lead me to a mountain top

Daddy and me set up the altar

Daddy laid me on the altar

Daddy’s going to kill me

 

An angel came and said

Don’t take your son

Take the ram

Daddy didn’t kill me
