At the Altar Lyrics by Elevation Rhythm

Verse 1

I’m removing
All of the things that would move me
Further from You
A thank you could not be enough
It’s not lost on me what You saved me from
I’m running
Stumbling, I know, but I’m coming
To give You this offering
My worship, I’ll never withhold
Broken, but You call it beautiful

Chorus

Where the tears of the desperate
Reach the feet of the Savior
Nothing I wouldn’t offer
There’s no waste at the altar
Where the heart of surrender
Meets the hands of the Maker
Nothing I wouldn’t offer
Thеre’s no waste at the altar

Post-Chorus

You can bring еverything, everything

Verse 2

Things I’ve treasured
Oh couldn’t come close to Your presence
Grace upon grace who could measure
No, nothing could measure
And I’m returning
Oh, back to the One, I am running
To give Him my love
‘Cause He took a sinner like me
Washed me with grace and then set me free, oh

Chorus

Where the tears of the desperate
Reach the feet of the Savior
Nothing I wouldn’t offer
There’s no waste at the altar
Where the heart of surrender
Meets the hands of the maker
Nothing I wouldn’t offer
There’s no waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the…
Your arms are open wide (There’s no waste at the altar)
Oh, just bring it all to the Father

Interlude

All…
You can use it all
Open invitation

Bridge

Come lay your broken dreams at the altar
And every victory at the altar
Fear and anxiety cannot live here
There’s no waste at the altar
Let your heart sing out and tell Him you love Him
Don’t make it perfect, just let it be honest
He can use anything, sit back and watch Him
There’s no waste at the altar
Come lay your broken dreams at the altar
And every victory at the altar
Fear and anxiety cannot live here
There’s no waste at the altar
Let your heart sing out and tell Him you love Him (You love Him)
Don’t make it perfect, just let it be honest
He can use anything, sit back and watch Him
There’s no waste at the altar

Refrain

There’s no waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the altar
Oh
There’s no waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the altar

Bridge

Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
There’s no waste at the altar
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
There’s no waste at the altar
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
Lay it all down, lay it all down
There’s no waste at the altar

Outro

Oh, He can use anything (He can use anything)
Yes, He can use anything (He can use anything)
He can use anything
Just sit back and watch Him
There’s no waste at the altar
He can use anything (He can use anything)
He can use anything
He can use anything
There’s no waste at the altar
…waste at the altar
There’s no waste at the altar
He can use anything, sit back and watch Him
There’s no waste at the altar
La, la, la
Bring it all to the Father
There’s no waste at the altar

Intro

Let’s go!

Verse 1

This is a holy moment, the Spirit of God is in this place
It’s a divine appointment, to meet with Him face to face
This is an invitation, it’s no accident you’re here
So what are you waiting for?

Chorus

If you need a fresh touch, come running
If you’re desperate for more
If you need healing in your body
Come on, come on
If you need freedom from bondage
If you need a child to come home
If you need a miracle to happen
Come on, come on
And meet us at the altar, meet us at the altar
Meet us at the altar

Verse 2

This is an open Heaven where signs and wonders fall
Drop what you’re holding onto and catch what He has in store
Stеp out in expectation, oh, your miracle is hеre
So what are you waiting for?

Chorus

If you need a fresh touch, come running
If you’re desperate for more
If you need healing in your body
Come on, come on
If you need freedom from bondage
If you need a child to come home
If you need a miracle to happen
Come on, come on
And meet us at the altar, meet us at the altar
Meet us at the altar, woah-oh-oh

Bridge

I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same
Not leaving the same
(Come on, you say)
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same way I came in
(Say)
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same
Not leaving the same
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same way I came in
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same
Not leaving the same
(Oh, I prophetically declare)
I’m not leaving the same (That every encounter with the Lord)
Not leaving the same way I came in (I’ll never leave the same way)
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same
Not leaving the same
I’m not leaving the same, not leaving the same way I came in

Chorus

If you need a fresh touch, come running
If you’re desperate for more
If you need healing in your body
Come on
If you need freedom from bondage
If you need a child to come home
If you need a miracle to happen
Come on, come on
And meet us at the altar, meet us at the altar
(Oh, Jesus, at the altar) Meet us at the altar
Meet us at the altar
