#### THE ALTAR

I
THE SERVICE IS NEARING THE END
AND THE CHOIR IS SINGING JUST AS I AM
AND NOW AS THE OLD SONG IS PLAYED
PEOPLE AT THE ALTAR ARE KNEELING DOWN TO PRAY
SOME ARE FINDING MERCY, FORGIVENESS FOR THEIR SINS
SOME ARE FIGHTING BATTLES AND THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO WIN
BUT TIME HAS COME TO GIVE THEM TO THE LORD
THAT'S WHAT THIS ALTAR IS FOR

CHORUS
THAT'S WHAT THIS ALTAR IS FOR
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY THOSE BURDENS ANYMORE
THERE'S A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
THERE'S A LOVE THAT'S TRUE
AND JESUS IS WAITING, FRIEND, HE'S WAITING HERE FOR YOU
COME QUICKLY NOW BEFORE THEY CLOSE THE DOOR
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR BURDENS TO THE LORD
THAT'S WHAT THIS ALTAR IS FOR

II
A FATHER IS PRAYING WITH HIS SON
AND A MOTHER KNEELS BESIDE THEM,
THANKING GOD THEY'VE COME
AND AN OLD MAN IS STANDING THERE IN TEARS
GIVING UP A PART OF HIM THAT HE'S HELD BACK FOR YEARS
HEARTS ARE BEING BROKEN AND LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED
AND THOSE THAT CALL UPON HIM NOW WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
THE TIME HAS COME HAS TO GIVE INTO THE LORD
THAT'S WHAT THIS ALTAR IS FOR
