Casting Crowns
The Altar And The Door
[Verse 1]
Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
Burn out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner
Of my cold, cold heart

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Here at the altar
Oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter?
What You've shown me to be right
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
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
