looking for lyrics for dust on the altar

I posted this in a request just recently. Here it is for your enjoyment.

DUST ON THE ALTAR

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

PSALMS 66:1-2 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.

the chorus starts out
Does anyone pray anymore
Do we care for the lost there is no need denying our children our dying
You can hear it on utube

Dust on the Altar
Verse:
Let Us Go Back a While, To When I Was a Child, How well I Remember The
Time, Those Old Saints Would Pray Til' the Breaking of Day, And Not One Soul
Seem To Mind, And the Spirit Would Pour, Til the Altar was Full, That's How It
Was In the Past, Well What Meant So Much, Is Now Covered In Dust, and The
Times They Brought Me to Christ
Chorus:
Doesn't Anyone Pray Anymore, Do We Really Care for the Lost, There's No
Need Denying that our Children Are Dying, When Just out Of A reach stands
The Call, They Think We're Okay, and That We've Got It Made, But I'm Afraid
That They Got It All Wrong, There's A Need in Our Day for a People who pray,
Til' the Dust on the Altar Is Gone
Verse:
We've Learned to Cover It Well, By the Stories We Tell, How We're In Revival
Again, But If We Try To Imagine, Still We Couldn't Fathom, All the Souls That
Are Dying In Sin, Still the Question That Burns, Are We Really Concerned, or
Have We Grown Tired of The fight, we may Full of Guilt By avoiding The Truth,
Oh But the Dust on the Altar Don't Lie
