- Track 6 of Casting Crowns’ The Altar and the Door
- Written by Mark Hall
Careless, I am reckless
I’m a wrong-way travelin’, slowly unravelin’ shell of a man
Burnt 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 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’s so black and white
How could I ever falter
What You’ve shown me to be right
Lord, this time (Lord, this time) I’ll make it right (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 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 (Lord, I cry) like so many times before (many times before)
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I try (I 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
Oh, Lord, I cry (Lord, I cry) like so many times before (so many times)
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh, Lord, I 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
