Altar

SEU Worship's song 'Altar' is a profound exploration of spiritual surrender and divine intimacy. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the act of being 'beckoned' by a higher power, urging the listener to leave behind the familiar and embrace a deeper, more personal relationship with the divine. This beckoning is not just a call to follow but an invitation to make the divine one's own, highlighting a personal and intimate connection with God.

The song's chorus, 'Here I give my everything, surrendered at the altar of my king,' encapsulates the essence of total surrender. The altar, a traditional symbol of sacrifice and worship, represents a place where the individual lays down their life, desires, and will in exchange for a deeper connection with God. The repetition of 'He will never leave my side' serves as a comforting reminder of the divine's unwavering presence and faithfulness, reinforcing the idea that this surrender is met with steadfast companionship and support.

The bridge of the song shifts to a declaration of God's eternal goodness and the everlasting nature of His kingdom. Lines like 'Your kingdom's forever, Your throne lasts forever' emphasize the eternal and unchanging nature of the divine, providing a sense of stability and hope. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of the personal relationship between the individual and the divine, likening God's words to a unique melody that resonates deeply within the soul. This imagery of a melody that 'no one else has heard' underscores the unique and personal nature of each individual's spiritual journey and relationship with God.
