                        The Altar And The Door
                           (Casting Crowns)

  Standard Tuning 

Verse1:
             
Careless, I am reckless
                                         
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling 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


Pre-Chorus:
                                                          
   Lord this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
                                                   (hold out)
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...


Chorus:
                    
Cry___like so many times before
                                    
but my eyes___are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
                                     
I try___but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
                         
I will not lose my follow through
                                
Between the altar and the door


Verse2:
                       
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
                       
How could I ever falter
            
What you've shown me to be right   (pre-chorus) then (chorus)

Bridge:
                                
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
                            
Just let you be who you are
                  
Lord, who you are in me
                                
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
                            
Just let you be who you are
      Fb            
Lord, who you are in me...

Oh Lord, I...   (chorus 2x then fade)
