I still remember the day I first heard it
Love's invitation that spoke to my soul
A power so strong that I couldn't escape it
These feet started walking and this sinner came home

The altar still calls to the broken and the bound
Come to the place where deliverance is found
Let the shackles come off as the sweet Spirit falls
To the saved and the sinner the altar still calls

It's been a while since the first time I knelt there
But I keep returning again and again
For healing and comfort, and for mercy I get there
Lord I love to feel it just the way I did then

The altar still calls to the broken and the bound
Come to the place where deliverance is found
Let the shackles come off as the sweet Spirit falls
To the saved and the sinner the altar still calls

Wherever you are, friend, don't hesitate
Whatever you need is here in this place
Can't you hear it today

The altar still calls to the broken and the bound
Come to the place where deliverance is found
Let the shackles come off as the sweet Spirit falls
To the saved and the sinner the altar still calls
