The Altar And The Door
                           (Casting Crowns)


Half-Step Down...eb Bb Gb Db Ab eb


Verse1:
D       A      E
Careless, I am reckless
      D                  A                 E
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
D        A        E
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
         D                        A                  E
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart


Pre-Chorus:
F#m          E                 D                  Bm             F#m
   Lord this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
             A                    E                 E (hold out)
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...


Chorus:
D   A         F#m        E
Cry___like so many times before
       D    A         F#m                E
but my eyes___are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
  D   A     F#m               E            D
I try___but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
           A              D
I will not lose my follow through
            E              D   A   E
Between the altar and the door


Verse2:
            D    A       E
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
                 D      A
How could I ever falter
            E
What you've shown me to be right   (pre-chorus) then (chorus)


Organ Plays: D  A  F#m  E


Bridge:
    D             A        F#m       E
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
             D               A
Just let you be who you are
      F#m            E
Lord, who you are in me
    D             A        F#m       E
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
             D               A
Just let you be who you are
      F#m            E
Lord, who you are in me...

Oh Lord, I...   (chorus 2x then fade)
