The Altar And The Door Lyrics [Verse 1]
Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
Burn out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner

Pre-Chorus]
Lord, this time

But my will was done
My heart is broken as I

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
[Bridge]
I'm trying so hard
To stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Jesus, I'm trying so hard
To stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Oh Lord 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

But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
