Horns of the altar

Horns of the altar

by Joel Howard

I take hold of the altar

I take hold of the blood of the Lamb

I stand forgiven here

I stand forgiven here

I stand now forgiven

I stand in the blood and the grace of the One

Who has called me his friend

Who has called me again

I take hold of the altar

Soft

You have shown me mercy

Father, I run to Thee!

Grace

You have bent from heaven

Shown me mercy again

I take hold of the altar!

I stand in forgiveness God you call me friend

You call me forgiven

I take hold of your mercy

I seek now asylum from all of my foes

From all of my enemies

In your love for me

In your love for me!

Take me

Father remake me into your image

I plead for your mercy

Father

Let your will be done now in my world

Come let us get heaven

I take hold of the horns

I take hold of the horns

Of the altar

I run into your arms

I fly into your arms

With confidence

And I will live

In the horns of the altar

I run to the Father

I run to the Lamb who was slain

I can't bank on another

I run to the Father

I come as I am

I come as I am

I come as I am!
