The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#186

186. Kneel Down at the Altar

1 When you're tired and you're wounded,
bring Him your soul that's in need.
He is able to protect you,
your hungry soul He'll feed.

Refrain:
Right here kneel down at the altar,
tell him just, just what you need;
Tell Him all right now, all your anguish,
tell Him just, just what you please.

2 About burdens, about sorrows,
about friends so unkind.
About loved ones who are needing
just a bit of life's sunshine. [Refrain]

3 About trials and tributations,
about crying thru a smile.
About needing Him to guide you,
as you walk the last mile. [Refrain]
