An altar of remembrance Is what I bring to you An overflow of thankfulness For all you've brought me through The power of Your love for me In famine and in feast Unnumbered blessings poured on me The greatest to the least An altar of remembrance I'm building every day Each act of Your unfailing grace Each answer to my when I pray So faithful to this faithless one So patient with my pride Complete in me what You've begun A portrait of the Christ Take my life and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to Thee My ev'ry thought, my ev'ry deed An offering to you An altar of remembrance That stands for years to come When I am called to heaven's rest My story lingers on Let those who follow on the way Take courage in the race You fashioned from this jar of clay A trophy of Your grace
