    LYRICS:
    The service is nearing an end
    The choir is singing, 'Just As I Am'
    And now as the old song is played
    People at the altar
    Are kneeling down to pray
    Some are finding mercy
    Forgiveness for their sin
    Some are fighting battles
    And they're struggling to win
    The time has come
    To give them to the Lord
    That's what the altar is for
    That's what this altar is for
    You don't have to carry
    Those burdens anymore
    There's a light in the darkness
    There's a love that's true
    And Jesus is waiting
    He is waiting here for you
    Go quickly now
    Before they close the door
    That's what the altar is for
    A father is praying with his son
    A mother kneels beside them
    Thanking God they've 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
    And those who call upon Him
    Will never be the same
    The time has come
    To give in to the Lord
    That's what this altar is for
    That's what this altar is for
    You don't have to carry
    Those burdens anymore
    There's a light in the darkness
    There's a love that's true
    And Jesus is waiting
    He is waiting here for you
    Go quickly now
    Before they close the door
    That's what the altar is for
    Go quickly now
    Before they close the door
    And you can give your burdens
    To the Lord, that's what this altar is for

    Father, we pray for Ray Boltz our brother in Christ. We humbly ask for you to bring Him back to this path you chose for him. We ask because we love him, and know you do love Him even beyond us. Please bring Him back to Yourself so we can have this fellowship over and over again to your glory in Jesus name, Amen!

      God doesn't accept gay life style please read Romans chapter 1 and Genesis spoke about Adam and eve male and female and the two become one. Mr Ray Bolt know the truth because he was married for 33 years and have children and grandchildren but the devil want him to believe that it is ok to be gay.
