The Altar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lord you know my heart
Lord you know my need
Every step that I take
Lord I feel the weight
Of every burden on me, can I
Lay it down at the Altar
Lay it down at your feet
I am desperate for mercy
I am desperate for peace
For you're the one that is Holy
And I'm the one who's in need, can I
Lay It down
Lay it down at the Altar
Who am I to you?
When you are everything
And though I cannot be sure
That my gift would be pure
And be fit for my king, I will
(Repeat Chorus)
If you are one who needs mercy
I f you are one who needs peace, come and
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down at the altar
