O Come to the altar

O Come to the altar

[Verse 1:]

Are you hurting and broken within

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself

Do you thirst for a drink from the well

Jesus is calling

[Chorus:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Verse 2:]

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes

Come today there's no reason to wait

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy

From the ashes a new life is born

Jesus is calling

[Chorus x2:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Bridge x2:]

Oh what a Savior

Isn't he wonderful

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

Bow down before him

For he is Lord of all

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

[Chorus x2:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Verse 3:]

Bear your cross as you wait for the crown

Tell the world of the treasure you've found

[Verse 1:]

Are you hurting and broken within

Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself

Do you thirst for a drink from the well

Jesus is calling

[Chorus:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Verse 2:]

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes

Come today there's no reason to wait

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy

From the ashes a new life is born

Jesus is calling

[Chorus x2:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Bridge x2:]

Oh what a Savior

Isn't he wonderful

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

Bow down before him

For he is Lord of all

Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

[Chorus x2:]

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ

[Verse 3:]

Bear your cross as you wait for the crown

Tell the world of the treasure you've found

O come to the altar

The Father's arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with

The precious blood of Jesus Christ
