Is Your All on the Altar?

 

Is Your All on the Altar?

Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. There are moments in life when we feel our faith is weak and our prayers are not heard. God, of course knows our weaknesses and He is willing to strengthen us, if only we ask. God will always give us free will to make our choices, but His greatest desire is for us to give our all to Him. All of things, all of self, so that He can bless us and keep us under His wings. Let’s not hold anything back but let go and grow closer to God.

Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by Elisha A. Hoffman

“You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase, and have earnestly fervently prayed; But you cannot have rest or be perfectly blest until all on the alter on the altar is laid.

Would you walk with the Lord, in the light of His word and have peace and contentment always, you must do His sweet will, to be free from all ill, on the altar your all you must lay.

Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow of the blessings for which we have prayed, till our body and soul He does fully control, and our all on the altar is laid.

Who can tell all the love He will send from above, and how happy our hearts will be made, of the fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet, when our all on the altar is laid.

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? Your heart, does the Spirit control? You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest, as you yield Him your body and soul.”
