Wow! It appears that everyone is being stretched right now. I sure am! At the end of the message I will be sharing an original song. It’s definitely an obedience thing! Be abundantly blessed! Jeannie
These are the words to “Come to the Altar”
Come to the altar.
Lay it all down.
Give your cares and your burdens-
Standing on holy ground.
Come to the altar
And drink of His love.
Take the bread and the wine
For His body and blood.
Come to the altar.
Come to the altar.
Chorus
Come give your heart to the one who knows it all.
He clothes the flow’rs and sees each sparrow when it falls.
Lay down your life. In His presence you’ll be changed
By the power of Jesus’ mighty name!
Come to the altar
And make an exchange.
Trade you ashes for beauty
And let joy replace pain.
Come to the altar.
Release all your shame.
Old things are passed away
and you won’t be the same.
Come to the altar.
Come to the altar.
Repeat Chorus
Let Him heal you.
Let Him wash away your sin.
Let Him touch you
And bring life to you once again!
Come to the altar.
Come to the altar.
Come to the altar.
Take up your cross and follow Him.
Lay down your life so you can live.
He’s waiting for you
To come to the altar.
