Song Lyrics
Altars Restored
Verse 1:
In the rush of modern tides,
Sacred truths, too often, slide.
Now we seek to turn the page,
Restoring what we’ve disengaged.
Chorus:
Altars restored, in hearts, in lands,
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand.
Foundations laid by His own hand,
In His truth, again we band.
Verse 2:
From ancient wells, we draw anew,
Living waters, pure and true.
In every heart, in every shore,
Let’s rebuild what we adore.
Chorus:
Altars restored, in hearts, in lands,
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand.
Foundations laid by His own hand,
In His truth, again we band.
Bridge:
As nations drift, let’s anchor deep,
In Gospel truths, our souls to keep.
Restitution of His ways,
In our lives, His love ablaze.
Outro (Repeat Chorus):
Altars restored, in hearts, in lands,
On Christ, the solid rock, we stand.
Foundations laid by His own hand,
In His truth, again we band.
Pray for the restoration of godly altars in homes, leadership, and culture, where the presence of God can dwell. May your life be an altar of holiness and worship, and may the fire of God fall anew on every place you rededicate to Him.Spiritual Engagement
