Ray Boltz - The Altar

Standard, No Capo

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


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

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

           C                          G
Go quickly now before they close the door
    C                   D            Em
And you can give your burdens to the Lord
 C                D         C           G
That's what this altar is for....
