AT THE ALTAR
Written by: Louis Blanchard

It seemed that I
Had control of my life
Oh but no one knew
How I cried way down deep inside
Never sure of my next move
Until I read today
Jesus is the only way
So I'm at the altar
Here at the cross
Crying out to you Father
Help me for I'm lost
I need the blood
Of your only Son
To cleanse every part
Of my sinful heart
Take this guilt off of my shoulders
I leave it at the altar
I'm kneeling here
I feel the warmth of tears
Streaming down my face
I look up into the eyes of love
Of the one who took my place
Saying be not ashamed
Your debt has been paid
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
He is Jesus
He has freed us
The ultimate sacrifice
The giver of life
(final chorus)
So come to the altar
Kneel at the cross
Cry out to the Father
Help me for I'm lost
I need the blood
Of your only Son
To cleanse every part
Of my sinful heart
Take this guilt off of my shoulders
I leave it at the altar
