Anyone who went to middle school summer camp in knows that it’s pretty easy to sincerely (maybe even tearfully) commit to serving Christ – to “climb up on the altar” so to speak. The great challenge before us is to stay on the altar when the emotion of the moment passes…

I am a proud man in my heart of hearts
It is not in my nature to kneel
But I have come face to face with the Lord of the stars
And now I know how humility feels
And it moves me to the threshold of grace
I am finally willing to yield

Lay me down on the altar
Lay me down – I am not afraid
Lay me down – down on the altar
And don't let me crawl away
Don't let me crawl away

Now I am finding that I have so much to unlearn
And I'm starting to loosen my hold
Because following You Jesus is leading me to places
I have never had reason to go
But You poured out all that You had to give
For the love of this desperate soul

Lay me down on the altar
Lay me down – I am not afraid
Lay me down – down on the altar
And don't let me crawl away
Don't let me crawl away

I am a proud man in my heart of hearts
It is not in my nature to kneel
But falling down at the feet of the Lord of the stars
Now I know how humility feels . . .

Lay me down . . .
Lay me down . . .
Lay me down on the altar
Lay me down – I am not afraid
Lay me down – down on the altar
And don't let me
Don't let me crawl away
Don't let me crawl away
