Just as I am without one plea

Oh Lamb of God I come,I come..

People at the altar are kneeling down to pray

The time is come to give them to the Lord

Chorus
C G
That's what this altar is for

You don't have to carry those burdens any more

There's a light in the darkness

There's a love that's true
C G
And Jesus is waiting
C D
He is waiting here for you
C G
Go quickly now before they close the door
C D G
That's what this altar is for
2nd verse
A father is praying with his son
Mother kneels beside them
Thanking God they'd come
An old man is standing there in tears
Giving up a part of him that he's held back for years
Hearts are being broken
Lives are being changed
Those who call upon the Lord they will never be the same
The time has come to give unto the Lord
That's what this altar is for
C G
Go quickly now before they close the door
C D Em
And you can give your burdens to the Lord
C D C G
That's what this altar is for....
Pray for Ray.
