Lyric Sheet The Altar Still Stands
In the silence of the night, I kneel down and pray,
Cracked pews and broken hearts, oh, I've lost my way.
Carrying burdens heavy, like the storms outside,
But in the shadows of my pain, there’s a light I can’t hide.
I walked away so many times, but when I turned around—
There it was, shining bright, the altar still found.
Where the tears have fallen, His mercy pours like rain,
In the depths of my sorrow, He’s washed away my shame.
A promise never broken, a hope that understands,
No matter how I falter, the altar still stands.
The altar still stands, unshaken and true,
No matter how far, it awaits my return to you.
In the shadows of the cross, my healing begins,
The altar still stands, where forgiveness wins.
Through the trials and the fears, I’ve wandered so long,
Life’s tempest tossed my spirit, but He hears my song.
I see the broken people, they gather ‘round the flame,
Finding solace in the promise, calling out His name.
With every crack and crevice, there’s beauty, there’s grace,
For all who seek redemption, it's a sacred place.
Where the storms may shake, and the doubts fill the air,
He’s the anchor in the chaos, showing me He cares.
I found my healing in the comfort of His hands,
Through trials and through struggles, the altar still stands.
The altar still stands, unshaken and true,
No matter how far, it awaits my return to you.
In the shadows of the cross, my healing begins,
The altar still stands, where forgiveness wins.
So lift your hands, weary heart, don’t you turn away,
Mercy’s calling, it's not too late—come find your way.
For every broken spirit, there’s a love that never ends,
At the foot of His grace, my dear friend, it’s where we mend.
Oh, the altar still stands, unshaken and true,
No matter how far, it awaits my return to you.
In the shadows of the cross, my healing begins,
The altar still stands, where forgiveness wins.
So when the storms shake the walls, I will stand firm and say,
Though I may stray, in my heart, I know it’s okay.
For, deep in my soul, I’ll always understand,
That no matter what happens, the altar still stands.
