Reasonable Service

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] In every soul an altar stands Thereon dwells all in the heart of man Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross Upon this table purge us Though the sacrifice we'll fear Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near For we never fail to find you here In our reasonable service [Verse 1: Mike Roe] Now the least that we can do is the least that you require Living sacrifices on the sacrificial fire [Gene Eugene] Cleanse these earthen vessels, Lord, of every false desire And when we fail the do the least Help us in our unbelief [Chorus 1] In every soul an altar stands Thereon dwells all in the heart of man Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross Upon this table purge us Though the sacrifice we'll fear Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near For we never fail to find you here In our reasonable service [Verse 2: Derri Daugherty] And in the measure of our faith, let our minds keep on renewing Not conforming to this world until this world's undoing And by your tender mercies, Lord, your perfect will pursuing We become an offering Made holy through your suffering [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: Terry Taylor] In the servitude of love drifts a fragrant scent well pleasing As the strength of grace compels us on to worship without ceasing To count as loss all we hold dear is Christ in us increasing And through the fire gold will remain To live is Christ to die is gain [Chorus 2] In every soul an altar stands Thereon dwells all in the heart of man Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross Encourage, don't desert us Though the sacrifice we'll fear Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near For we never fail to find you here In our reasonable service Service Reasonable service Ooh
