Laid Upon the Altar
I’ve placed so many blessings on this altar
I’ve seen so many more returned to me
In ways I dared not think to ask
Ways so much deeper than I could grasp.
But the best of them weren’t things that I could see.
May I never falter
As I lay upon the altar
All my hopes, desires, and dreams and nothing less…
For the altar is the place
Where I come to know your grace
And I come to know the life of blessedness…
I’ve placed so many sins upon this altar
And I’ve seen the cleansing power transform my heart.
In the dying I learn to confess
I learn to live to righteousness
For by the sacrifice he made we are set apart.
May I never falter
To lay upon the alter
All my hopes desires and dreams and nothing less…
For the altar is the place
Where I come to know your grace
I come to know the life of blessedness…
