2nd verse
A father is praying with his son
Mother kneels beside them 
Thanking God they'd come
An old man is standing there in tears 
Giving up a part of him that he's held back for years
Hearts are being broken 
Lives are being changed 
Those who call upon the Lord they will never be the same 
The time has come to give unto the Lord
That's what this altar is for

           Em (022000@1)                       GGo (320003@1)quickly now before they close the door
    C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)          EmAnd (022000@1)you can give your burdens to the Lord
 C (x32010@1)              D (xx0232@1)       C (x32010@1)         GThat's (320003@1)what this altar is for....
