The Alter and The Door by Casting Crowns
Careless, I am reckless
I’m a wrong way traveling, 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
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.

Beautiful!
I love Casting Crowns Bernideen – thanks for coming by and have a truly blessed week!
Hands held high in praise!
Amen Laura! When I wrote my post in early January about my ‘word(s)’ of the year being ‘follow through’ I kept thinking of this song. I can have so many great ideas or inspiration or things I want or need to do but my follow through doesn’t always show up!
Have a blessed Sunday. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Pam!
