Real lyrics for real people caught in life's situations.
We wanted to write songs that would touch people and that Mary enjoyed singing. Dad wrote all the songs, and various friends and family musicians helped on the recordings. These are the final mixes!!

Story behind the song
This was based on a song I wrote over ten years ago. It has been seriously updated.
Lyrics
Altar Copyright 2004 By Jon Shinaberry Verse 1 When Isaac was laid upon the altar, was there no complaining to be heard? Abraham was faithful to obey you until he had deliverance by your word. So I lay myself upon the altar. My hands are bound to do your will. I throw my idols down, I’ve learned to trust You. (And) my soul is quietly still. Chorus Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Come convict me of my sin, cleanse at make me whole within. Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Draw me close and let the fire burn. Verse 2 Jesus was faithful to obey You. He became the only sacrifice for sin. Blameless, yet He laid his life down for us, for He knew He would take it back again. So I lay myself upon the altar, and I follow the footsteps of Your Son. My feet no longer choose direction, and I pray Your perfect will be done. Chorus Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Come convict me of my sin, cleanse at make me whole within. Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Draw me close and let the fire burn. Bridge I draw near to you. You draw near to me. I was a captive of my sin. Then You set me free. So I give my body as a sacrifice, holy and blameless ‘cause You paid the price. Acceptable offering I give to You, ‘cause I love to worship You. Chorus Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Come convict me of my sin, cleanse at make me whole within. Let the fire burn. Let the fire burn. Draw me close and let the fire burn. Draw me close and let the fire burn.
