That's what the altar is for
Ray Bolt

A service is nearing an end
The choir is singing, just as I am
And now as the old story is played
People at the altar are kneeling down to pray
And some are finding mercy
Forgiveness for their sins
Some are fighting battles and they’re struggling
To win
The time has come to give them to the Lord
That’s what this altar is for

Chorus
That's what this altar is for
You don't have to carry those burden anymore
There's a light in the darkness
There's a love that's true
Jesus is waiting, He's waiting her for you
So quickly now before they close the door
That’s what the altar is for

A father is praying with his son
A mother kneels beside them
Thanking God they've come
An old man is standing there
Into giving up a part of him that he's held back for years
Hearts are being broken,
lives are being changed
Those who could open him
They will never be the same
The time has come to give unto the Lord
That’s what the altar is for
