I built an alter

You sent the fire

Burn up the offering

Every other desire

Fill in the space

The great in between

‘Til I see Your face

My heart, make it clean

My eyes, make them pure

Flooded with light

Push darkness back

Bind it to night

Fear clouds my view

I grasp for control

Did I fumble Your promise

While led by my soul?

You’re bigger than me

Mighty to save

Worthy of worship

Not bound to the grave

Dead things must die

Your promises live

Laid at your feet

My whole life, I’ll give

A song of surrender

A dance of true trust

My eyes on my King

The Savior whose just

Beauty from ashes

That’s what You do

Brave through the burning

Because I trust You

Drew this while coloring with my son one evening. Hung it up to remind me I’m never alone.
