Casting Crowns Lyrics - The Altar and the Door

Casting Crowns - The Altar and the Door

Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong way traveling, 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

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 (I'll 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 (Lord, this time I'll make it right)
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 (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door

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 cry like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door

I cry like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord, I try (I'll try)
But this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door

Trying so hard
Like so many times before (trying so hard)
