The Altar and the Door

Careless, I am reckless

I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man

Burnt out, I'm so numb now

That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner

of my cold, cold heart

Lord, this time I'll make it right,

here at the altar I lay my life

Your kingdom come but 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 but this time,

Jesus, how can I be sure

I will not lose my follow through

Between the altar and the door

Here at the altar,

oh my world so black and white

How could I ever falter

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 but 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 but this time,

Jesus, how can I be sure

I will not lose my follow through

Between the altar and the door

I'm trying so hard

to stop trying so hard

Just let You be who You are

Lord, who You are in me

Jesus, I'm trying so hard

to stop 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 but this time,

Jesus, how can I be sure

I will not lose my follow through

Between the altar and the door

Cry, like so many times before

But my eyes

are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord

I try but this time,

Jesus, how can I be sure

I will not lose my follow through

Between the altar and the door
