Altar Serenity

(ahhhh) The wooden doors open wide to the morning air Row by row,

every face I love is waiting there

Soft footsteps crossing quiet stone

My mother's smile, I am not alone

Sunlight filters through the stained glass tall

A quiet hush

resting over us all

I take my father's trembling hand

Walking slowly through the promised land (ooh)

Here at the altar where our dreams begin

With all our family and our dearest kin

Take my hand and keep me near

Every prayer has led us here

I see

your eyes holding all my grace

Time stands still in this sacred place

No hurried thoughts,

no doubt remains

A quiet peace that washes away

all pains (ahhhh) (mmm)

Here at the altar where our dreams begin

Surrounded by the love that drew us in

Forever starts with this pure vow

All our tomorrows begin

right now

Begin right now (mmm)
