Another town
Another place
A different crowd
A brand new stage
The spotlights on me
I get it's used
To keep it there
Pointed to you
I want my stage
To be an altar
So all the praise
Goes to the Father
If I get selfish
And make this life all about me
Lord please
I want my stage to be an altar
Alarm goes off
To start the day
Each child of God
Takes their stage
Might be at school
Or a job somewhere
This world could change
If this was our prayer.
I want my stage
To be an altar
So all the praise
Goes to the Father
If I get selfish
And make this life all about me
Lord please
I want my stage to be an altar
Some perform to thousands
And some to just a few
The numbers aren't important
Just gotta do what we can do
Then one day when we see Jesus
And we touch his nail scarred hands
He's gonna tell us how I lived life
Was such a big part of His plan
So I want my stage
To be an altar
So all the praise
Goes to the Father
If I get selfish
And make this life all about me
Lord please
I want my stage to be an altar
I want my stage to be an altar
I want my stage to be an altar
