CASTING CROWNS LYRICS - The Altar And The Door

"The Altar And The Door"



Careless, I am reckless

I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man

Burnt 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...

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



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
