Fire On The Altar

[Verse 1]
Early in the morning
Before the sun dey rise
Na Your name I’m calling
Jesus
Take my life
You wipe my tears
You carry my load
From village road
To streets of gold
[Chorus]
Fire on the altar
Make my praise go higher
From Lagos down to Aba
Everybody sing Hosanna
Fire on the altar
Fill my heart with power
From Jos to Calabar
Let Your glory cover naija
[Verse 2]
When trouble dey surround me
You still be my song
Even when body dey weak me
Your joy dey make me strong
You turn my shame
To dancing shoe
I lift my hands
Na You be God
Oh
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call-and-response]
Leader: Who get the glory?
Choir: Jesus alone!
Leader: Who break the story
Of every stone?
Choir: Jesus alone!
Leader: From North to South
East to West
All: Na Your name we confess
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Fire
Fire
Burn in we heart
Oh Lord
Higher
Higher
Lift this land to God

Bridge modulates slightly up with tom fills and layered harmonies, ending in a joyful vamp., worship
