Come Build An Altar / Fires of Revival – Wendell Smith

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
