Lyrics

Take Me Instead

Words and music by E&G Hasslacher

He never thought the night would come when knelt beside the bed
As his young boys life seem to slowly slip away
Even though some time has passed he never will forget
The only words he had left to say

Take me instead
He has so much more life to live
Take me instead
I?ll go

The soldier walks through the battlefield of the wounded and the dead
Knowing someone?s son isn?t coming home today
Kneeling there in the desert sand as the tears roll down his face
Crying out this is what he said

Take me instead
He has so much more life to live
Take me instead
I?ll go

Throughout time the human bond of love has always won
But nothing compares to the timeless love
Of The Father and The Son

Take me instead I?ll go?

Take me instead I?ll go?

On that day god looked at us and He saw a dying world
He sent His Son and with His life he said?

Take me instead
They has so much more life to live
Take me instead
I?ll go

Take me instead
They has so much more life to give
Take me instead
I?ll go

On that day, He sent His Son
And with His life He said?
