Oh, yeah, I need to seek His face
Walking through the valley, kingdom's under strain
People crying out, Lord, we can't take this pain
So I came with a humble heart, ready to make a stand
Gotta build an altar with these empty hands
Araunah saw the vision, said "take what you need"
Offerings and sacrifice, that's my creed
Build an altar, build it high
Reach up to the heavens, touch the sky
Burn the offerings, make the plea
Lord, hear the prayer, set us free
Build an altar, yeah, mmm, build it strong
Heaven listening to our song
Oxen for the burnt sacrifice, wood from the yokes
Every flame a whisper, every smoke
Peace offerings rising, Lord, we know You hear
Plague is lifting, feels like You are near
David understood that faith requires a cost
To restore the people, gotta find what's lost
Build an altar, build it high
Reach up to the heavens, touch the sky
Burn the offerings, make the plea
Lord, hear the prayer, set us free
Build an altar, yeah, baby, build it strong
Heaven listening to our song
The plague withdrawn, the land is healed
God's mercy real, oh, His will revealed
