The Altar of Prayer

Author: Ms. Sam Bilbo

 

The altar of prayer is a powerful place,

It’s full of love, faith and bountiful grace.

When you need to be where troubles are set free.

That’s where He gives you the knowledge to see.

 

As I watch our people come to this altar and pray,

They know the Lord hears every word they say.

And when my family comes to this altar in the same way,

Lord, the feelings swell up in my heart right away.

 

This altar is a wonderful place, where burdens are laid there,

It’s a place where you can go just to kneel in prayer,

But it’s also a place where you can receive His power

Give thanks to the Lord – He’s a strong, mighty tower!

 

Our Lord’s house is a strong and majestic place,

If you look around you can see Jesus on many a face,

Lord, when the Holy Spirit comes it’s so hard just to sit still,

Our Father works in mysterious ways when we do His will.

 

The altar is a wonderful place where burdens are laid there,

But, it’s also a place to just kneel in prayer.

Lord, You are a powerful God - You hear the smallest request.

Even though sometimes our faith is put to the test.

You wrap us up in Your loving arms, and show us that You care,

Lord, thank You, Thank You, for this altar of prayer.
