O Come to The Altar

In 2019, I heard O Come to The Altar by Elevation Worship and it spoke to me, brought me to my knees.

Are you hurting and broken within?

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself

Do you thirst for a drink from the well?

Jesus is calling

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes

Come today there's no reason to wait

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy

From the ashes, a new life is born

Jesus is calling

Are you hurting and broken within?

  • Yes, I am.  Every day I feel the world crushing in on me.

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?

  • Yes, I am.  I cannot keep my head above water as the weight tethered to my legs holds my head at the bare surface.

Jesus is calling

  • And my tears begin to fall, I hear you, Father.

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes

  • Yes, Father, gladly.

Come today there's no reason to wait. Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy.  From the ashes, a new life is born.

Father God, forgive me of the sins that burden me.  Let me release my feelings of shame and guilt.  Allow me to learn from my mistakes rather than allowing them to weigh me down.  Give me your guidance and give me the strength to let go of my indiscretions and let you, God, take over.  Free me from my self-imposed prison and allow me to forgive myself so that in you I can find joy again.

Amen.
