The Altar and the Door

Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong way travelin', slowly unravelin' shell of a man
Burned 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 tryin' so hard
Just let you be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Jesus, I'm tryin' so hard
To stop tryin' 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

Cry (my eyes are dry)
Like so many times before (so many times)
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 tryin' so hard
To stop tryin' so hard
Just let You be who You are
Are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord, I cry
