The Altar And The Door - Casting Crowns Lyrics

Careless, I am wreckless
I'm a wrong way travelling
Slowly unravelling shell of a man
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember
Down in the corner in my cold, cold heart
Lord, this time, I'll make it right
Here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come and my will was done
My heart is broken
As I cry
Like so many times before
But my eyes
Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Here at the altar
All my world's so black and white
How can I have faltered
What You've shown me to be right
Lord, this time, I'll make it right
Here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come and my will was done
My heart is broken
As I cry
Like so many times before
But my eyes
Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Trying so hard
Just stop trying so hard
Just let you be who you are
Lord, who You are in me
Jesus, I'm trying so hard
Cause I'm trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Oh, Lord, I cry
Like so many times before
But my eyes
Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Oh, Lord, I cry
Like so many times before
But my eyes
Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I would not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
