Chained to the Altar

Chained to the altar
   my heart that wants to go to flight

on the altar is the lamb that was slain
  on the altar is the Word become flesh
     on the altar is God, among us
         come to bear the suffering of the world,
of my suffering
       
come to bring healing for this broken heart

so I chain my heart
   that wants to flight
I keep it before its Hope and Healing
