1.CHILDREN ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE LAND
WE'VE LOST OUR LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW MAN

FATHERS AND MOTHERS ARE PARTING TODAY

THERE'S DUST ON THE ALTER WHERE WE USED TO PRAY

2.TEARS THAT WAS ONCE SHED FOR A BROTHER IN NEED

THEY'RE NOW CALLED OLD FASHIONED, THEY'RE NO LONGER SEEN

GREED AND PROUD HEARTS HAVE GOTTEN IN THE WAY

THERE'S DUST ON THE ALTAR WHERE WE USED TO PRAY



3.SINNERS ARE WONDERING, THEY'RE LOST IN THE NIGHT

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW THEM THE LIGHT

LET'S ALL JOIN TOGETHER IN THE OLD FASHIONED WAY

AND GET THE DUST OFF THE ALTAR, LET'S GO BACK AND PRAY

CHORUS:



LET'S SEEK OUT THE OLD PATHS AND WALK THERE-IN

OUR CHILDREN ARE CRYING AND DYING IN SIN

SATAN IS LAUGHING AS GOD'S PEOPLE STRAY

THERE'S DUST ON THE ALTAR WHERE WE USED TO PRAY

LOOKING FOR WORDS AND MUSIC TO "DUST ON THE ALTAR"

FIRST LINE, CHILDREN ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE LAND
