The Altar

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

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


Chorus:
  C              D         G  Em
That's what this altar is for
 C                Am        
You don't have to carry those 
   G           D
burdens any more
  Em
There's a light in the darkness

Thanking God they've come

An old man is standing there in

tears
   C                          G   
Giving up a part of him that he's 
               D
held back for years
 C                 Bm
Hearts are being broken
 Am               D
Lives are being changed

never be the same
