Reasonable Service

[Chorus 1]
In every soul an altar stands
Thereon dwells all in the heart of man
Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross
Upon this table purge us
Though the sacrifice we'll fear
Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near
For we never fail to find you here
In our reasonable service

[Verse 1: Mike Roe]
Now the least that we can do is the least that you require
Living sacrifices on the sacrificial fire

[Gene Eugene]
Cleanse these earthen vessels, Lord, of every false desire
And when we fail the do the least
Help us in our unbelief

[Chorus 1]
In every soul an altar stands
Thereon dwells all in the heart of man
Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross
Upon this table purge us
Though the sacrifice we'll fear
Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near
For we never fail to find you here
In our reasonable service

[Verse 2: Derri Daugherty]
And in the measure of our faith, let our minds keep on renewing
Not conforming to this world until this world's undoing
And by your tender mercies, Lord, your perfect will pursuing
We become an offering
Made holy through your suffering

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Terry Taylor]
In the servitude of love drifts a fragrant scent well pleasing
As the strength of grace compels us on to worship without ceasing
To count as loss all we hold dear is Christ in us increasing
And through the fire gold will remain
To live is Christ to die is gain

[Chorus 2]
In every soul an altar stands
Thereon dwells all in the heart of man
Oh, consuming fire, lay waste the dross
Encourage, don't desert us
Though the sacrifice we'll fear
Forsake us not, Lord, draw us near
For we never fail to find you here
In our reasonable service
