A Tear-stained Altar

[Guest]

I am looking for the lyrics, please.

I think these are what you're looking for:

1.
I remember mom and dad, how they always used to go
with the friends and the loved ones, that I used to know.
They would gather round the altar on an early Sabbath day
And lift their voices up in prayer till Jesus had His way.

Chorus
On the old tear stained altar where friends knelt to pray.
That old tear stained altar where sins were washed away.
In that old country church where I was but a lad.
That's where I learned the good way from the bad.

2.
It was just a little country church. The congregation there was few.
They were old-fashioned people but their hearts were good and true.
They didn't have the style, like churches of today.
But Heaven really smiled on them when they knelt down to pray.

Repeat Chorus 2x

In that old country church where I was but a lad
That's where I learned the good way from the bad.

God bless,
Steve
