  • Chords

    Verse
        G           C                 G
    I came unto the gathering of the people of the Lord
        C             D                 G
    And found my way among them to His throne
       G         C               G
    I needed to return unto the altar of my God
       C               D            G
    To renew again my covenant with Him
    
    Prechorus
                 C        D            Bm     Em
    And there I build an altar to His name
           C                   A            D
    And realise my life would never be the same
             G
    And the fires of revival will come 
    C                   G
    Sweeping through my soul
           C              D             G
    And I touch the holy presence of my God
    
    Chorus
                   C    D        G
    Come build an altar unto the Lord
               Em     A            D
    Return to worship and hear His word
             G                         C                    G
    And the fires of revival will come sweeping through your soul
           C              D              G
    And I touch the holy presence of my God
    
    Verse2
    I wanted to discover the first love we once had shared
    Rekindling the fire deep within
    I found the lamp still flickering in the temple of my Lord
    And pour a horn of oil unto the flame

    Verse
    I came unto the gathering of the people of the Lord
    And found my way among them to His throne
    I needed to return unto the altar of my God
    To renew again my covenant with Him

    Pre-chorus
    And there I build an altar to His name
    And realise my life would never be the same
    And the fires of revival will come sweeping through my soul
    And I touch the holy presence of my God

    Chorus
    Come build an altar unto the Lord
    Return to worship and hear His word
    And the fires of revival will come sweeping through your soul
    And I touch the holy presence of my God

    Verse 2
    I wanted to discover the first love we once had shared
    Rekindling the fire deep within
    I found the lamp still flickering in the temple of my Lord
    And pour a horn of oil unto the flame

    We were in Bible Temple in Portland, Oregon when God gave this song to Wendell Smith. Thank you I have been searching for the words.
