O Come To The Altar - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
O Come To The Altar is a powerful song of invitation to come to the Lord and receive His forgiveness and grace. The lyrics of the song are based on the Bible verse Isaiah 1:18 which says, “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” This verse is a reminder that no matter how deep our sins are, God is willing to forgive us and make us clean.
The chorus of the song invites us to come to the altar, which is a symbol of God’s presence. It is a place of repentance and forgiveness, and it is where we can lay down our burdens and receive the grace of God. The lyrics remind us that forgiveness was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and that we can find joy and new life in Him.
The bridge of the song reminds us of the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and Lord of all, and we can sing alleluia in celebration of His victory over death. The last verse of the song encourages us to bear our cross and wait for the crown, and to tell the world of the treasure we have found in Jesus.
The song O Come To The Altar is a powerful reminder of the grace and forgiveness that is available to us through Jesus Christ. We can come to the altar and lay down our burdens, and receive the grace and mercy of God. We can find joy and new life in Him, and we can tell the world of the treasure we have found in Jesus.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
