Lyrics
ALTAR
You sigh tells me you?re tired
Exhaustion in your voice
There?s no one left to lean on
Doesn?t seem to be a choice
Tears like thorns
They sting your eyes
You?d gladly trade your crown
For some sound advice
[Chorus]
Take it to the altar
God will not think twice
Take it to the altar
He will pay your price
The king of kings
He longs to be
Your broken sacrifice
When you take it to the altar
And still you pace in circles
Afraid to leap in faith
But all that you hold on to
Is holding on to you
Well I know just how you feel
Your private misery
You have no need to fear
It?s time to be set free
[Chorus]
Take it to the altar
Take it to the altar
Take it to the altar
Take it to the altar
Jesus lives to heal your pain
Lord of lords, He?ll turn those thorns
To roses once again
When you take it to the altar
When you take it to the Lord
Chorus- Out
