Come to the Point of a Burning Altar by Bibi Asher Benson

Come to the Point of a Burning Altar by Bibi Asher Benson

The Altar of my life
The sanctifier of the whole
The altar burns and my soul revives
The rest I seek is here at last
The wings of a dove
The flight of the eagle
The hope of the spirit
The rest is found
He is there, the comforter of my soul
He is found in the fire of the heath
Without are trials that torment
Within is the peace of contentment
Without are adversaries that destroy
Within is the comforting restorer
I surrender again my soul
It is the place of the altar
I yield again my life
For the stone and the wood
My heart hungrily swallows Your word
I cannot survive but with it
For this is the sacrifice that I am
Dead but alive in You
All is made well and whole
For I am the Burning Altar


Rekindle the fire at your altar and keep it burning
For at the burning altar the weary find rest
The wayfarer finds home at the burning altar
Souls are cleansed and revived in the fire of the altar
There is no fear in the love that  flows from the burning altar
Hope replaces despair and broken walls are restored
The song of victory and a glimpse of eternity
God’s promises fulfilled and assurance of heaven at last
The place of sanctification is at the feet of the Master Jesus
Without delay come to the point of a Burning Altar
