The Altar we Raise

 

Is your all on the altar-

your heart mind and soul?

Have you fully surrendered

to the Spirit’s control?

 

Lay your all on His altar

Broken bread and poured out wine

Lay your all on His altar

Lay your life on the line

 

There is a final sacrifice

That was made on our behalf

We are set free and so may we

Be strengthened by God’s rod and staff

 

The rod is for our discipline

The staff shall ever guide

Us to the lamb of glory

And a rock where we may hide

 

Lay your all on His altar

Broken bread and poured out wine

Lay your all on His altar

Lay your life on the line

 

This is worship this is praise

To give ourselves to the ancient of Days

Transformed in His presence

Living on the altar we raise

 

Lay your all on His altar

Broken bread and poured out wine

Lay your all on His altar

Lay your life on the line
