       G             D    GJust as I am without one plea
      D       C                 GBut that thy blood was shed for me

   G                       EmThe service is nearing an end
  C                    G        DThe choir is singing "Just as I am"
   G                       EmAnd now as the old song is played
  C                      G               DPeople at the altar are kneeling down to pray
  CSome are finding mercy 
  G                   DForgiveness for their sins
  C       Some are fighting battles
             G            Dand they're struggling to win
             Em                      GThe time is come to give them to the Lord
 C                D       GThat's what this altar is for

Chorus
 C                          GThat's what this altar is for 
 C                            G           DYou don't have to carry those burdens any more
 Em               There's a light in the darkness 
 GThere's a love that's true
 CAnd Jesus is waiting 
      G                 DHe is waiting here for you 
           Em                         GGo quickly now before they close the door
  C               D        GThat's what this altar is for

2nd verse
A father is praying with his son
Mother kneels beside them 
Thanking God they'd come
An old man is standing there in tears 
Giving up a part of him that he's held back for years
Hearts are being broken 
Lives are being changed 
Those who call upon the Lord they will never be the same 
The time has come to give unto the Lord
That's what this altar is for

           Em                         GGo quickly now before they close the door
    C                   D            EmAnd you can give your burdens to the Lord
 C                D         C           GThat's what this altar is for....
