While we were in China, we had to be very careful in public places. When we prayed, for example, we did not close our eyes; instead we just spoke aloud to God and pretended that we were talking with each other. Some of the time we had to speak in a kind of “code” (referring to God as “the Boss”, etc.). When I wrote this lyric, I hadn’t been to China yet. Now – after encountering the courage of believers who live in a culture that is so hostile to Christianity – this song is a lot more meaningful to me.

Wherever I am
I will worship You
At the altar of my heart
Wherever I stand
I will kneel before You
At the altar of my heart

And I will bow down
To none but You
Oh I will bow down
To none but You
At the altar of my heart
At the altar of my heart

Wherever I am
I will worship You
At the altar of my heart
Wherever I stand
I will kneel before You
At the altar of my heart

And I will bow down
To none but You
Oh I will bow down
To none but You
At the altar of my heart
At the altar of my heart

You are on the throne
And I am on the altar
Wherever I may go You are my Lord
You are on the throne
I am on the altar
Let it be known You are my Lord

And I will bow down
To none but You
And I will bow down
To none but You
Oh I will bow down
To none but You
At the altar of my heart
At the altar of my heart

“For those who are tired of Christian records that sound increasingly homogenized and mass-produced, Clouds & Fire is a balm from Heaven." (Christian Musician Magazine)
