The Altar (Homecoming Classics Vol. 13 Album Version) - Ray Boltz

Just as I am without one plea

But that they blood was shed for me

And that thou bidd'st me come to thee

Of lamb of God I come

I come

The service

Is nearing an end

The choir is singing

Just as I am

And now

The old song is played

People at the altar

Kneeling down to pray

Some are finding mercy

Forgiveness for their sins

Some are fighting battles

They're struggling to win

The time is come

To give them to the Lord

That's what this altar

Is for

That's what this altar is for

You don't have to carry those burdens any more

There's a light in the darkness

There's a love that's true

And Jesus is waiting

He is waiting here

For you

Go quickly now

Before they close the door

That's what this altar

Is for

See a father

Praying with his son

Mother kneels beside

Thanking God they've come

There an old man

Standing there in tears

Giving up a part of him

He's held back for years

Hearts are being broken

Lives are being changed

Those who call on Jesus

Oh they will never be the same

Time has come

To give into the Lord

That's what this

Altar is for

Sing again

That's what this altar is for

You know have to carry this book

You don't have to carry those burdens any more

There's a light in the darkness

Oh there's a love that's true

And Jesus is waiting

He is waiting here for you

Go quickly now

Before they close the door

That's what this

Altar is for

That's what this altar is for

You don't have to carry those burdens any more

There's a light in the darkness

Oh your love that's true

And Jesus is waiting time

Waiting here for you

Go quickly now

Before they close the door

And you can give your burdens

To the Lord

That's what this altar

Is for
