Lyrics Casting Crowns – The Altar And The Door

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

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’ll try)
I 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 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’ll try)
I 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’ll try)
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’ll try)
I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door

Try…(trying so hard)
Like so many times before… (try so hard)
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
