The altar

Lord it’s a struggle 
This emptiness I feel 
Can you be the filling 
To this void 
I invite you in to dwell within 
Because I cannot do this on my own 

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 

I knew my secrets are safe 
There no one hurt me
On my knee 
In my vulnerability 
It’s just you and me 
Lost but found in your presence
Greet me I humbly beg

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 

My flesh gets weak 
And I don’t want to sin
Or do anything that’s out of your will

Ohhh I can admit I fail daily
Because of my pain 
But I know you remain the same 
So with a repentant heart
I ask you not to depart 
But pleeease stay with me 

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 

On The altar 
My safety
On The altar 
My place 
On the altar
I go 
On the altar 
I Lay
On the altar 
My questions
On the altar
My answers 

On the altar 
That’s where I’m staying 


Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 

Lord take me back To the place 
Where I first Received you 
There I can pour it all out 
On the altar 


Ohh the altar 

The altar 

That’s where 
 
My safe place is
