Cam Sakkara - Altar/Alter Lyrics

I was building temples out of words
Esteem bowed to what I heard
Looking for the love
That made me feel like I was
Worth something in this world
Voids from when I was a girl
Their opinions of me
I put them above You
Got caught up in it all
I forgot to first seek You
Jesus
Tear down my altars
Give me the Kingdom
Only You can alter
My heart
I was making idols out of dreams
No sleep, building legacies
Chased desires of mine
With 5 to 9s
But did I ever ask if they were Yours
If You said no
Would I change my course
Focused on the grind
Instead of making time for You
Got caught up in it all
I forgot to first seek You
Jesus
Oh Jesus
Tear down my altars
Give me the Kingdom
Only You can alter
My heart
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Tear em down
Till they're gone
Lord, I can't do
This alone
Change me
Till every part of me You own
Lord, give me You
All else, it can move
To make space for alterations
That's a fitting room
Make my heart mold to
Your desires
Throw the pedestals
In the fire
Tear down my altars
Give me the Kingdom
Only You can alter
My heart
