Текст песни: The Altar + перевод

The Altar

Words and Music by Ray Boltz

The service is nearing an end

The choir is singing «Just As I Am»

And now as the old song is played

People at the altar

Are kneeling down to pray

Some are finding mercy

Forgiveness for their sin

Some are fighting battles

And they’re struggling to win

The time has come

To give them to the Lord

That’s what the altar is for

That’s what this altar is for

You don’t have to carry

Those burdens anymore

There’s a light in the darkness

There’s a love that’s true

And Jesus is waiting

He is waiting here for you

Go quickly now

Before they close the door

That’s what the altar is for

A father is praying with his son

A mother kneels beside them

Thanking God they’ve 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

And those who call upon Him

Will never be the same

The time has come

To give in to the Lord

That’s what this altar is for

Chorus (repeat)

Go quickly now

Before they close the door

And you can give your burdens

To the Lord

That’s what this altar is for
