[Verse] I walked a shadowed road so long, Lost in whispers, caught in wrong, But there was a light I couldn't see, A hand that reached and set me free. [Pre-Chorus] Now every step feels new and sure, Your grace a fire that will endure. [Chorus] At the altar, I lay it down, Every chain, every crown, From the ashes, I rise again, With You, my Savior, my closest friend. At the altar, I find my way, Leaving night for endless day, You heal the wounds I thought would stay— At the altar, I surrender today. [Verse] The past still whispers in the breeze, But Your love brings me to my knees, No longer bound by fear or pain, I’m walking free, no need to explain. [Pre-Chorus] Your mercy washes like the rain, Cleansing all my deepest stains. [Chorus] At the altar, I lay it down, Every chain, every crown, From the ashes, I rise again, With You, my Savior, my closest friend. At the altar, I find my way, Leaving night for endless day, You heal the wounds I thought would stay— At the altar, I surrender today. [Bridge] Oh, the road was dark before I knew, That Your love would carry me through, No more hiding, no more pain, In Your arms, I’m whole again. [Chorus] At the altar, I lay it down, Every chain, every crown, From the ashes, I rise again, With You, my Savior, my closest friend. At the altar, I find my way, Leaving night for endless day, You heal the wounds I thought would stay— At the altar, I surrender today. [Outro] At the altar, here I stand, Freed forever by Your hand.
