Ray Boltz - The Altar

Standard, No Capo

       G5             D5    G5
Just as I am without one plea
      D5       C5                 G5
But that thy blood was shed for me 
         G5               C5
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee 
    G5             D5      G5
Oh Lamb of God I come,I come..


   G5                       E5
The service is nearing an end
  C5                    G5        D5
The choir is singing "Just as I am"
   G5                       E5
And now as the old song is played
  C5                      G5               D5
People at the altar are kneeling down to pray
  C5
Some are finding mercy 
  G5                   D5
Forgiveness for their sins
  C5       
Some are fighting battles
             G5            D5
and they're struggling to win
             E5                      G5
The time is come to give them to the Lord
 C5                D5       G5
That's what this altar is for

Chorus
 C5                          G5
That's what this altar is for 
 C5                            G5           D5
You don't have to carry those burdens any more
 E5               
There's a light in the darkness 
 G5
There's a love that's true
 C5
And Jesus is waiting 
      G5                 D5
He is waiting here for you 
           E5                         G5
Go quickly now before they close the door
  C5               D5        G5
That's what this altar is for

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


           E5                         G5
Go quickly now before they close the door
    C5                   D5            E5
And you can give your burdens to the Lord
 C5                D5         C5           G5
That's what this altar is for....
