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
