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      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      Go quickly now   Before they close the door   And you can give your burdens   To the Lord, that's what this altar is for
