The service is nearing an end
|
The choir is singing "Just As I Am"
|
And now as that old song is played
|
People at the altar are kneeling down to pray
|
Some are finding mercy
|
Forgiveness for their sin
|
Some are fighting battles
|
They’ve been struggling to win
|
The time has 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 anymore
|
There’s a light in the darkness
|
And there’s a love that’s true
|
And Jesus is waiting
|
Waiting here for you
|
Go quickly now before they close the door
|
That’s what this altar is for
|
I see a father is praying with his son
|
Momma kneels beside them
|
Thanking God they’ve come
|
There’s 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
|
And those who call upon Him
|
They will never be the same
|
The time has come to give in 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 anymore
|
There’s a light in the darkness
|
And 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
|
|
You can give your burdens to the Lord
|
That’s what this altar is for
|
