I am an athletic person- when I run in the mornings, I use that time to pray to God. Connect myself with him and pray for people in my life. This song is the fuel behind it now. Not only does it make me run fast- I feel like I AM RUNNING TO THE ARMS OF JESUS!
Had the pleasure of hearing this song in July of '23 at Lifeway Student Camp in Branson MO as Vertical Worship led worship that week. Anointed, powerful, Spirit filled, amazing song!
I saw glimpses of Cassie in there. So obviously recorded before she left. I miss seeing and hearing that amazing drummer at church each week. This song is great!!
This song is going to take off, you can feel the anointing. 🙏 Let's build an altar to the Lord in the midst of a generation that wants to follow their own ways. There is still a remnant as Elijah, desiring only to do the Father's will.
@@LouLou10162it’s referencing when Elijah was challenged by the prophets of Baal to prove the one true living God. They each had a sacrifice prepared on an altar and would have to call upon their gods to bring the fire down. The prophets of Baal obviously sat there for hours with nothing happening. Then Elijah said “watch this” 😉 and drenched his offering in water and then called upon God who then sent a fire down that completely consumed the sacrifice, alter and water.
Thank you so much for this song! My daughter has been very ill for months and the doctors don't know what's wrong. This was the encouragement my heart needed this morning. 🙏
Hi Lou Lou, thanks for the great question. From my understanding, it’s referring to a story in scripture that specifically demonstrated our God’s power in 1 Kings chapter 18 starting verse 21. God gave Elijah instructions to drench the alter and the sacrifice in water multiple times and to stand back and watch that He alone would still ignite the fire and burn the offering. Awesome story. Hope that helps.
This song is amazing and powerful! Thank you for this song it moves me, I can't stop listening to it so good!😊 we are friends with your amazing parents at Cornerstone.

Would you be so kind to help me understand what is meant by “drench it water?” What does that mean or referring too? Thanks in advance!

Vertical Worship - Build An Altar
Chorus / Description :
Build An Altar Lyrics
We have every confidence that He is faithful
Yes, our testimony is the living proof
And if you doubt the evidence that He is able
Open your eyes, people get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
He makes a mountain move with just a whisper
He calls the dead to walk out of a grave
Let the ones that He redeemed lift up a banner
Now is the time, people get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
Gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
People get ready
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He'll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There's no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God
If you're running from Pharaoh, He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It's gonna fall down, gonna fall down
If the odds are against you, He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn't matter the giants you face
They're gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
Gonna fall down, gonna fall down
Gonna fall down
People get ready

My SAME question! I saved it and the the next day it was gone. I thought I was losing my mind. Glad it’s on here.
