O Come to the Altar Lyrics:

Verse 1
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin, Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well, Jesus is calling

Chorus
O come to the altar, the Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Verse 2
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there's no reason to wait, Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born, Jesus is calling

[Chorus]

Bridge
Oh what a Sav--ior, isn't He wonderful
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him For He is Lord of all
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

[Chorus]
