Lord of the Altar
You taught me to love
and I learn to give
but they’ve forsaken me my Lord,
You give me faith
and I live life with justice
but they’ve sold me to my enemy,
Your life gave me hope
and salvation I see my Lord
but they’ve put me to prison
My Lord I heard you
and shared what I received
what else can I offer,
My Lord by your passion
I find consolation
and continue the mission
How could I forget to praise you
With you I live a peaceful life
And I raise you my Lord on high
What else I can do but to offer my life
Into your altar, of faith, hope, and love
