Lyrics
TEARS ON THE ALTER
1
In an old country church home
when I first knelt to pray
I cried to the Master and He showed me the way
I looked up to Heaven I heard Jesus say
With tears on the alter I will save you today.
2
On an old-fashioned alter
the tears have now dried
Shed there by sinners as to Jesus they cried
All begging for mercy they cried to Him there
By an old-fashioned alter
He answered their prayer.
3
With tears on the alter We sought His dear face
Filled with the Spirit redeemed by His grace
With tears we behold Him He guided us each day
To that home up in Glory forever will stay.
CHO:
Tears on the alter in answer to His call
Rare jewels for Heaven so gently they fall
Heartbroken and lonely His blessings we claim
With tears on the alter
we will praise His dear name.
