Story Behind The Song

Nancy sang with me each Sunday for a year at our church in Alabama. During one meeting, she encountered God like never before, and laid on the floor like asleep. A few days later, I got an email with a poem. She knew I liked making songs. For months prior, I had taken the pastors weekly scripture and made a song out of it for the church to learn and memorize. She asked if I wanted to take a stab at making a song out of it.

Lyrics

NOTE: Verse 1 could be sung as-
"Surround me as I await Your mighty embrace.
Unworthy,I give you myself in this sacred place."

Verse 1
Surround me as I await
Almighty's embrace
Unworthy, submitting myself
So sacred a place.

Chorus
Meet me at the altar
I offer my life,
a mere sacrifice
to what you gave for me.
Lifting my eyes,
I pray...
You'll fill me now
At the altar.

Verse 2
Your angels here on the earth
Lay hands upon me.
They utter heavenly words
Uplifting me.

Verse 3
My trail of warmest tears
Led you to me.
Surrendering my burdens, Jesus,
Come set me free...

At the altar.
