- The Altar
Ray Boltz
Just as I am without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidd'st me come to thee
Of Lamb of God I come, I come.
1st verse
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 sins
Some are fighting battles
and they're struggling to win
The time has come to give them to the Lord
That's what this altar is for
Chorus
That's what this altar is for
You don't have to carry those burdens any more
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 this altar is for
2nd verse
A father is Praying with his son
Mother Kneels beside them
Thanking GOD they'd 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
Those who call upon the Lord they will never be the same
The time has come to give unto the Lord
That's what this altar is for
Repeat chorus 1x
Tag:
Go quickly now before they close the door
And you can give your burdens to the Lord
That's what this altar is for....
I first heard this Hymn as a young boy during Children's Church. Yes...I felt the Tug of the Holy Spirit. But still I resisted .... until 1995, I had to reach the end of myself, hit rock bottom. Then Jesus found and rescued me. Thank You Lord Jesus. Now a man in 60s, I still stray, but God's Mercy is abundant. Because of my Lords payment for me, being washed in the Blood of Jesus. You died.....and now I am dead to myself....but made alive in You. Amen.
May God lead you back to the altar, brother Ray. Your songs blessed me a lot as a child. They still do. Many became Christians through your songs. May God lead you back to Himself. Amen
Only the Lord know the truth, just let is reach out and touch the Lord
Amen
Amen
Amen,Lord let your mercy speak and restore .
Amen

She kept crying crying and I was so concern I ask if she ok which I know she wasn't she began to tell me her problems which touched me so deep within I began to show her loved telling her God is on the job she'll be ok etc... she started crying, praying while she played this song it was my first time hearing it omg!! This song actually touched my soul thats what this alter is far I found myself listening to this song so often I love it, it actually help ease my burden I love you Lord!
You're my burden healer... you're my strength, my needs, my wants. Healed my baby girl and all the rest fighting to win.
His songs really inspire me. I know many came to Christ because of these songs. I pray for his return to his first love..
Jesus is the same yesterday today and will always be the same
Thank you Jesus!!
Ray bolt, oh how I love him. And no situation will change my love for him.
We all have burdens to take to the alter.
Is not to late or to early and you still accepted Jesus in your life and when you at the altar you feel the love of God and it's just you and him Amen God bless and beautiful song
One off the most Annoithing And Powerful Songs. Is A Blessing.
Ray its absolute that we should cary our nurdens to the alter
God will remember you my brother in Mercy, you are a blessing to me and many
They were singing "Just As I Am" the night I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 11 years old. That was June 13,1973 and I still remember that moment, and this song, like it was yesterday. This song has always held a very special place in my heart.
Thank you lord for the alter, even if I can't find the words to say when I come I'm glad it's always available to me in any given circumstances. Thank you jesus
Roy brings millions to the lord with his songs and they will be in heaven, we pray that he will make it there himself before its too late
Rays songs anointed and real God looks at the heart you can hear his heart by the songs he has written. I pray that Ray has another testimony to the goodness and grace and mercy of God Almighty in the mighty name of Jesus Amen and amen
Father let your mercy speak repentance and restoration in the life of Ray Botz in Jesus name
Amen ! heart-felt
Did he fall away? Please tell me
@@jacklinendege6280 He is homosexual now...
Amen 🙏
I still love you Ray, and God loves you even more. I am praying now that God will dry up the desire for that lifestyle from the very root. And that the desire for righteousness will be planted in its stead and bear fruit from this day forth. In JESUS NAME
BEVERLY GORDON One can be a homosexual and not forsake God...Judge not, lest ye be judged
We don't judge God has already judged what is right and what is wrong. Man lying with man as if he's a woman is wrong and a perversion. God made Adam and Eve. The judge not scripture is for us to not walk around with a holier than thou, better than you attitude while doing wrong ourselves. But God lets us know what is right and wrong so that we may be discerning. And we are to help and pray for our brothers and sisters in Cheist when they've fallen to the wayside.
Amen! I pray for him each time I listen to his music.
@Rob Pal Amen
Beloved Rowdy Cooper, which of the Bible's verse were you referencing on "One can be homosexual and not forsake God"?
it does not matter how many supports perversion, Christ will bring His son (Ray) back soon.
This songs sends chills and brings tears to my eye
Ben Boszor Not only you dear...I listen to this every Sabbath and my heart blast into tears....there is light in the darkness..praise GOD

Am praying who ever listens to this song may the Lord comfort your souls and answers your prayers
I remember when this song came out. Still makes me think all these years later.
This is another one of my favorite songs that Ray sings. I love his singing. God bless you always Ray
i repent of all my sin.....i confess Jesus as my Lord and Savior......no turning back.
Amen jesse...
I am offering my family into your alter Lord Jesus
I use to love when Dennis Earle sang it R.I.P bro
What an annointed song! Ray a lot people are praying for you! Come back to the flock!
How in the heck can he come back to a church that refuses to accept him as he is, as if he can choose his orientation. It sickens me the bigotry and shallow superficiality I see all through all these threads. The lot of you may be religious but you are far, far, from being Spiritual. It seems to me he's better off without this silly, superficial, bunch anyway. Out.
I come to u lamb of God. God u is everything to me I love u lord thank you jesus for changing my life when I turn to you I never sorry I give my self to you
my name is shaun lewallen i have been a christian for over 12 years ray boltz has all ways been geting me thrue
I always loved Ray boltz music. Ray boltz music blessed me when I was in my twenties. I went to his concert in Jacksonville Florida back in the 80s and my goodness I felt the holy Spirit. Thank you Ray boltz I'm still a Christian to this day. May God bless you and your family amen.
I love you Ray no matter. I pray now in Jesus name that the desire for that lifestyle will be dried up from the very root. And that God will plant the seed of righteousness and it will begin to grow and bear fruit from this day forth. Amen.
Exactly, we can love someone but still pray that they turn from sin,.
What happened to Ray? Not aware please tell me
@@jacklinendege6280 he announced he was and is gay
I say amen to your prayer Beverly.
There's light in the darkness for Ray in Jesus name.
love u Ray.
This Christian song should be listening to everyone who are Christian's and also on song's of praise on Sundays as well praise Jesus Amen.
I will trust in the lord no mattter what comes to me I will still overcome this
Lord thank you for loving and forgiving a sinner like me,I have full desire to follow you. I am asking you for forgiveness of my sons and I will fully follow you and give my all to stay faithful.

Thank you Jesus for your alter
Thank you lord for changing my life!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So many are ashamed to pray at the alter.I can testify that even though shy, awkward even embarrassed at times, the alter is where I go to as a sinner and where I find strength. It is now where I grow. It is where I worship Jesus and seek him for strength as he fills me with the desire to glorify him.
Thank you I love the words of this song, blessings
Lord I pray that you will lift the burdens from our backs... Help us to come unto you before the door is closed.... Indeed that's what the altar is for........
Amen
I'm so glad he came up w/this song a blessing to my life. I'm actually n tears now ppl I'm not ashamed I need Jesus n my life I need him & what about u the door may close soon plze Repent come back to Jesus the world really has nothing to offer, but lies & deceits, but Jesus is eternal that love us so much he wants us to him...now today...😔🙏💫 Let is Repent from our hearts & serve him truthfully 😪🙏
I can't even sing this without crying
Let's not judge the man...we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and you don't hear him judging us as yet and he's the only one that can do so. Let's focus on ourselves and try to make it right with God because a sin is a sin, there's none bigger. We fall down but we get, for I'm just a sinner saved by grace!!!
This is what we need today, come back to me before it is to late,he is calling he loves you all, Jesus Christ loves you all over the world 💖🌍,
Thank God for this song! Every man, woman, boy, girl has a place at the Altar!
I pray the this amazing artiste whose songs touch so many hearts and help so many reflect on their personal relationship with The Christ, will (if he had not yet done so) find his way back to the Altar and with his broken and penitent heart kneel at the foot of the Cross before the devil and his supporters have cause to be gleeful! It is the Holy Bible that gives the "Blue Print" for Christian living, and this Blue Print in the Old Testament and the New Testament is Crystal clear about the intimacy out brother fell victim to.
Brothers and Sisters everywhere that Ray Boltz's songs are listened to and sung along with, let us continue to pray for him! All sin is sin! Every sin needs to be brought to the foot of the Cross!
We must not condemn! We must love Ray Boltz unconditionally and may none of us forget we are sinners saved.by Grace! Be willing to be criticized for not 'throwing stones' .
Beloved Brother Ray, this evening, I plead with you to return to JESUS. Don't listen to satan tell you that you have gone too far to be welcomed back into JESUS' loving arms. Bro, how could you cast off so great devotion and impact of grace upon countless lives around the world through your Holy Spirit inspired ministrations in songs and be out there until the door be closed? 😥😥😨. JESUS, pls have mercy on my brother wherever he is now. pls release him from every bondage and chains of the devil by Your mighty power.
Come quickly Ray before the door is closed.. Jesus is waiting for you.
I sang this song once several years ago at the church I attended. After the service, an older gentleman came up to me, with tears in his eyes, and told me how much he loved the song.
Hi from Uncle Dan from the Far East, Ray your songs like ‘I pledge allegiance to the Lamb’ , ‘Thank You’ , this song, ‘The Altar’ has always give me that needed strength within to press on these twenty four years serving in communist countries. Thank you so much Ray, press on!
Ray, just see how your songs are touching many souls.
Its joyful to hear and to see your Brothers and sisters calling you back to the altar.
Remember seasons Might have changed But GOD Still remains to be GOD.
Don't allow the devil to squander you and finish you.
We dont want to wish.
Tribulation is coming ,kindly please RETURN TO THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST.This is what the altar is for
I pray you find you're way bro,Satan knows how to identify"purpose" so the purpose filled will always be targeted, get a hold of yourself man! We love you! And Jesus loves you even more.
One of my favourite song ,I love it.
Let me tell everyone...prayer combined with true love...wins!! I still am working on some things; but, Gods love is great..and WILL break every wall..drug...addiction..lifestyle. Nothing is greater than His love. Oh the feeling of release and true freedom. Praise God.
Praying this Brother will come back to the Lord, and prayers that he will sing again. ✝️🙏
I am listening to this song and my heart is full . The struggle is real , I feel like giving up. But that's what this altar is for. So dear Lord please help me....
As I said earlier that these inspired artists should always be in our prayers as the Adversary is in an all out assault against them; let us PRAY WITHOUT CEASING for THEM.
As I write this comment, I am listening to Ray Boltz' s "The Altar" with tears in my eyes for this WORD BASED Artist who has slipped.
Jesus said "Simon, Simon, I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU! ... and when you have RETURNED TO ME (REPENTED), STRENGTHEN your Brethren. " Luke22:31-34Let's pray for Ray Boltz
Hallelujah hallelujah glory 🙌🙌🙏 mighty God hallelujah glory 🙌🙏♥️♥️♥️ amen Jesusssssssss ♥️
and after all is said and done,
""...THAT'S WHAT THIS ALTAR IS FOR...""
AMEN AND AMEN 🙏 ,
""TO ALL WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH WHATEVER,......"YOU" DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT ANYMORE"""IN THE MIGHTY ONLY NAME "JESUS CHRIST"
This song is a real blessing to mankind, and if after you listen to it you chose to die in sin then surely hell's gate is open wide so you can go and burn your everlasting soul. Accept the lord people time is drawing near.
I do not have to carry my burdens all my myself, that is why the Altar is there, blessings
God please bless Ray Boltz always , his songs have touched my heart .
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY RAY WILL BE RIGHT WITH GOD AND MOVE TO THE CENTER OF HIS WILL. AMEN

I pray for you Ray may the Lord deliver you
Praise God. Thank you for the alter lord jesus amen!!
I am so glad I listened to this song and allowed God to minister to me before I read the comments. Few songs talk about sin these days, or about our struggles - but Ray's message is clear- surrender! He is Jehovah Qudesh, the LORD who sanctifies us. Our struggle is with our flesh and the answer is to walk in the Spirit, totally dependent upon Almighty God. In a word -surrender!
Amazing worship absolutely great 🙏🙏🙏 giving directions too... this is awesome
Halielujah thank you Jesus Halielujah
Your songs help me when I was going through s very bad time in my life please come back to Jesus we love you. We don’t want the door to close on you Jesus is waiting 😭😩❤️
