Altar (feat. Forrest Frank)

The song "Altar" by Hulvey, featuring Forrest Frank, is a heartfelt expression of Christian worship and personal reflection. The lyrics convey a deep sense of reverence and a desire for spiritual cleansing and renewal. The repeated invocation of 'Glory to the Father' establishes the song as an act of praise and worship, acknowledging the divine as deserving of all honor.

The metaphor of being led to an altar to wash away shame is a powerful image of seeking forgiveness and redemption. The altar symbolizes a place of sacrifice and communion with God, where one can lay down their burdens and be purified. The mention of 'buckets of shame' and the 'greatest exchange' at the altar alludes to the Christian belief in Jesus' sacrifice and the transformative power of grace. The song suggests that through this spiritual exchange, one's flaws and mistakes are replaced with divine love and acceptance.

Hulvey also touches on personal sacrifice and priorities, as seen in the lines about turning down a million dollars to be with his son, emphasizing that spiritual wealth and family are more valuable than material gain. The reference to leaving the ninety-nine to find the one sheep is a biblical metaphor for God's relentless pursuit of each individual. The song ends with a plea for breakthrough and recognition that even in life's storms, faith remains unshaken, reinforcing the message of hope and trust in divine providence.
