Altars Over Stages Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Sir, they've all gone off to Him"
I said to that baptizer
We watched as all his friends
Left him in the dust
"It's a cold world
And we all just need the Son"
He said with a smile

[Chorus]
I choose altars over stages
'Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
And I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages
[Verse 2]
Even angels in the sky
Can fall down to the depths
Clip their wings with their pride
And rot what's in their chest
The funny thing about pride
Is that you have it all your life But the moment you think you don't
It's gotten in your eyes, woah
Has it gotten in my eyes? Woah

[Chorus]
I choose altars over stages
'Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
And I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
Heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages, woah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I choose altars over stages
'Cause heaven is my wages
I don't need the spotlight
So make me a silhouette
I won't fret, I don't care
You can take me anywhere
'Cause heaven is my wages
I choose altars over stages
