Build An Altar

The news came in today so unexpected

It’s not the kind of thing you want to hear

You wept a little bit and put it on the list

Of all the things you’re going through this year

And everything just tears you apart

Like stones to the heart

 

But God is working in your waiting

In your tense anticipating

Though the burden’s almost more than you can bear

But life is never perfect

So lay it down and worship

This is not the time to fail or falter

When life gives you stones

Build an altar

 

Twenty-four hours, seven days a week

There’s a hope to lean on endlessly

 

God is working in your waiting

In your tense anticipating

Though the burden’s almost more than you can bear

But life is never perfect

So lay it down and worship

This is not the time to fail or falter

When life gives you stones

When life gives you stones

Build an altar
