Fire on the Altar

[Intro]
Clap hands
Move feet
We bring the praise
From the dust to the streets
Lift His name

[Verse 1]
Early in the morning
Sun on my face
I remember all the ways You made a way
From the valley to the mountaintop I say
You turned my crying into a holy parade

[Pre-Chorus]
I was walking with my head down
You said
"Child
Look up"
Now every step is a testimony
Every breath is trust (hey!)

[Chorus]
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
Every tribe
Every tongue
We return
We return
With a shout and a dance
Every chain gonna break
Heaven sing over us as the ground starts to shake
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
All my life
All I am
I surrender again

[Verse 2]
See the mothers in the corner
Swirling in grace
See the brothers in the back row
Tears on their face
Little children in the middle jumping in time
All creation in the rhythm of a holy rhyme (oh!)

[Pre-Chorus]
I was standing on the shoreline
You pulled me through the waves
Now my story is a sweet song
Of a soul You saved

[Chorus]
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
Every tribe
Every tongue
We return
We return
With a shout and a dance
Every chain gonna break
Heaven sing over us as the ground starts to shake
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
All my life
All I am
I surrender again

[Bridge]
I will dance like David
I will sing like I am free
If they ask me why I’m smiling
I say
"Jesus carried me"
I will dance like David
I will shout it joyfully
If they ask me why I’m shining
I say
"Jesus set me free" (hey!)

[Chorus]
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
Every tribe
Every tongue
We return
We return
With a shout and a dance
Every chain gonna break
Heaven sing over us as the ground starts to shake
Fire on the altar
Let it burn
Let it burn
All my life
All I am
I surrender again

[Outro]
Hands up
Hearts up
We lift Your name
Step left
Step right
We praise
We praise (oh yeah)
