The Altar

Although many feet have walked across you...

I kiss you…because I know I ought to...

And some may think You’re just a floor…

But this is the place where I come to be RESTORED!!!

I call this the ALTAR!

I bring the good, bad, and ugly with me...

Because You know what really lies beneath these...

You know how to handle me…

I’m telling You all of my INCONSISTENCIES!!!

I call this the place of SLAUGHTER!

While I’m making vows and decrees...

You’re affirming and loving me...

Wrapping You’re arms around me...

You’re taking the time to hug me...

I’m resting in You repeatedly...

Because in You lies my DESTINY…

But who’s repairing the ALTAR?!

There may be dirt in my face...

But I’ll lie here anyway...

Lord it’s as though… I’m kissing Your face!

Because there is something MIRACULOUS TAKING PLACE!!!

Right here at this ALTAR!

You’re causing me to look at me!

And not just skip over a lot of things!

I’m repenting and You’re forgiving me!

When I rise… my soul shall truly sing!

For everything You’ve done and are doing for me!

I want to praise You for an ETERNITY!!!

I’m helping repair the ALTAR!
