"The Altar and the Door' by Casting Crowns

[kingdomkey1337]

I'm smiling as i sing this because this song is me.

[SaveTheWolves44]

thumbs up if your a chistan, * thumbs up*

[123kellyful]

this has happen to me a lot of times.. when i'm at church i feel very happy and promise my God that i will change my life,, ang believe me that i really cry a lot but when i am arriving from church my mood changes sometimes. lately it seems to be that at home i steel feel something that comes with me from church (God's presence i think)

[Juggalette4ever16]

Isn't it funny how true it is that when you're at your alter, weather its in your room or at the actual alter, how you start off crying as you admit your shame but by the time you are half way done, you're smileing cuz God has dried your tears?

[SpencerStreibellion]

I like the very beginning, but for the most part the song is kinda just ok...

[Airan360]

This song is awesome when ever it says " between teh altar and the door " it reninds me of what will happen after we die after we die well be judged. Thumbs up if thats what u think to.

[DragonBallZFan13]

@Airan360 I more think of the alter at church, where you pray at it, asking for God's fire, then the door is when you leave church and you live life like nothing changed.

[goldielocks1952]

This is a another example of God's children assisting a sinner to know he isn't the only one. I am so afraid of losing my follow through for in the past I had difficulties and I turn from God, church etc. This time I hold on to Christ like a child holds they fathers leg in a crowd. I am going through difficult times and I find the devil is attaching me. I keep repeating new level from God and a new devil to see if I will lose my follow through.

[lasierva97]

this is my favorite song... Thank you God

[teamSeth101]

this song was in the show i was in at camp, Prodigal, and it helpd me change my life :)

[DreamsofMajesty]

Today, nearly one billion people (about 1in 8) lack access to clean water. More than 3.5 million die each year from water-related disease; 84% are children. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills at a rate equal to a jumbo jet full of kids every 4 hours. $25 can supply a person with clean water for life. The more people know the more we can make a difference. If you see this, please like it/copy and paste to another vid and give any amount you can.

My bestfriend led me back to the cross, and this was the song i listened to when i became Saved in the grace of god, I Love The Lord With All My Passion. i am happy to be back in his loving grace,

[byNUNE1112]

@MITCHsaysHI really? do you really think that is funny? if you want to "dress up" like Jesus, read the bible and he will tell you exactly how you can do it. The book of Matthew does a good job of that. if you have free time, i would work on growing up a little bit friend. and i mean that with as little offense as possible. one day, you will see the truth whether you believe it or not. And i bet if you had seen Jesus being crucified with your own eyes youd hold your tongue steady.

[cayleygirl1]

We recently sang this in choir, and this song has really spoken to me:) My favorite part is "Oh Lord, I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard. Just let you be who you are, Lord, who you are in me"

[drjauntytv]

just listening to the intro by mark hall and i just get high!

this song is truly inspirational!

[K5W250]

i put this as one of my favorites

[K5W250]

i love GOD and the USA

[dbonkhead]

i lllllllllllooooooooooooooooovv­vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee­eeeee casting crowns i am a christian and i love going to church

[Ballerina328]

Great video. This is a really good song

[Kithieri]

MITCHsaysHI

Uh just ta let ya no ur stupid. What does crackers have to do with god the heavenly father, the son and the holy spirit you know the TRInity tri as in 3. Go read the bible.

[Kithieri]

I absolutely love this song. My friends don't get the CDs or the lyrics. I say wanna come to church with me then? Got the album the altar and the door for church book awards mr Q. chose well thnx!

[kr4him]

Jesus is The True GOD, and we are not. The giver of every breath we take . To recognize what He has done for you is the best thing you can do for yourself .

[awesomebaby33]

i <3 casting crowns they are my fav christian band! this my fav. song by them and they play it at my clc class

[Doomsday4321]

Oh Lord I try like so many times before but my eyes are dry before i leave the floor

[Alana19803]

@darkpaladinzero If this is helping someone then "seriously" it is not pointless!

[Alana19803]

@MITCHsaysHI Hey Ive got news for u Jesus is not on the cross anymore. Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Portraying the real thing would not be physical pain either. Living for Christ is pretty painful with all those terrible ungodly temptations that get in the way, and please try not to compare Jesus to any human being especially someone u think is sexy. Jesus is God and hes holy, all thoughts about him should be kept pure.

[MITCHsaysHI]

@Alana19803

I thought God was Jesus's dad?

[Alana19803]

@MITCHsaysHI Are there more Gods than one? There is but one only, the living and true God. How many persons are there in the Godhead, the Father , the son and the Holy Ghost and these three are one God, the substance , equal in power and glory.

[MITCHsaysHI]

@Alana19803

How did they fit 3 gods in one? That's a pretty good deal, 3 for 1. One time I got some of these salted cracker that were on a 3 for 1 sale, which saved like $5, I don't even know how the company thought they would make money off it but it was a good deal. But I don't know how anyone knows how many gods there are anyway if we've never seen him. Jesus might be a twin or something.

[MrDodo191]

@MITCHsaysHI Wow what the cookie. seriously? crackers? i am at a loss for words... go to church and learn about the lord god almighty! Amen!

[jonasbrothersrox100]

@MITCHsaysHI dude its called the trinity!! 3 in 1

[xxfeelmybladex]

@MITCHsaysHI he is :P

[ikenik111]

I know this story :(

[Domodeath]

Witness your hands, with your hands God's will shall be done

Witness your feet, with them God shall send you to preach to the nations

Witness your heart, with it you will spread God's love, even to those who hate you and persecute you

[Rebagirl45]

great song....

[Animeoneful]

@snickersgirl157 Romans 3:23 all have sin and come short of the glory of God,then all of us a sinner and prodigal no one live perfect here in this life except Jesus our lord, i believe that is the reason why jesus did the atonement to help us find mercy from our sin. the feeling of despair and hopeless is not of God but to the other side, just keep on keeping on sis,

[ConstantWarlock]

love this song, my gym plays Christian Rock and this one plays almost everytime I'm in there

[Hannah250771]

Nice!

[kksuperkk3]

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time

[ryannconnerlover]

we do this song on our trek night!!!!!thank you lord

[snickersgirl57]

this song brings me to tears everytime i ear it. i have excepted christ but i end up doin wat i asked for forgiveness again....like havin sex before marriage. i mean i have been with him for a while but it is still wrong. and i dont know what to do anymore im lost beyond all finding!

[Marimzirtud]

@snickersgirl57 I don't think you're lost beyond all finding. Romans 8:39 says "neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Just the fact that you realize that what you're doing is wrong is a huge step in the right direction. Come back to Jesus; He will forgive you and give you the strength you need to not sin.

[brooklin652]

I love this song! Learned this song at our camp! The greatest place ever!

[PinchingLoafs]

please pray for me that I wont lose my "follow through"

[ksaklove]

LOVE this song.... sooo true. Lord help us to be more like you! God is truly amazing.

[tonnywilliams1]

Beautiful song, with great lyrics, more-so inspirational words. I had no choice than to subscribe to it. Keep it real for Christ sake. JESUS is Lord.

[1000starrystar]

[darkpaladinzero]

[theseventhelf]

[twyllaluvsme]

[susiedoodle22]

GREAT SONG =] BOUGHT THE CD ITS AWSOME

[intenseWords]

this is my favorite worship song EVER.

[DontCareIfYouHateMe]

how many second chances does god give us?

[burnesscoggins]

Infinitely many, as long as we've accepted him as our savior.

[dfwinchester]

as many as you need

[Altair065]

as many as needed. God never stops loving or forgiving us.

[burnesscoggins]

Are you ok?

[zzzzting]

ive lisend so meny times

[burnesscoggins]

OK.

[ashellyg123]

Wow right now im in the middle of a personality change and I'm actually making better choices and thinking before i do something i will regret and i thank God for giving me a second chance! =)

[parisbattle]

i love this song...casting crowns is soo awesome

[wizkid159]

My mom finally told me what this song means= when it says i cry but my eyes are dry before i leave the floor that means you go through the motion but you dont actually care thats why it only lasts a minute and when it says between the altar and the floor that stands for people only do the chruchy god things in church after u leave the door you forget all about it til next sunday. People need to do the godly thing all week. Thats my enterpretation of the song. God Bless you All.

[spiralnapkin]

<3 about sums it all up

[Dignitoso]

i love god and this song it is so peace full and has so many hard notes to sing but i would do it for god!!!:)i♥god!!!

[solo0194]

i love the song

[BeauRockz101]

this song is soooo amazing.

PRAISE GOD FOR ALL LIFE!!!

If you have any love for the lord, if any tenderness and compasion, may your life and attitude be the same as our lord Jesus Christ (Phillipians 1:2)

[bzigg10]

love this song

[BeauRockz101]

the lyrics are so powerful

may god just be with us every day!!!

[pizzathief13]

why dont people just PAY ATTENTION to the lyrics??!!?!?

[hsifreta]

why is it so easy to say "PPL" when what we're really thinking inside is "why can't I just pay attention"?

why is it so easy to TALK ABOUT the lyrics and the song, and forget to FOLLOW THRU after listening to it?

[eragonboy12]

thats what im talking about way to speak the truth

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ My LORD and SAVIOR

[burnesscoggins]

AMEN!

[Jesusteen8]

how can someone not like this song? If i wasn't a cristian right now, i would still love that song. It's so powerful and... and... I love god!!!

[Artice123]

This songs so true... when your there at church...speaking of the lord and words. Everything is black and white. But it's like when you leave when you're burdened with the troubles of life, and sin. It all fades to gray.

[feliciak16]

i love this song.

casting crowns is an amazing band.

all of their songs have a great meaning.

good job making the video!

[urmurked]

this song is just incredable. ive seen casting crowns like 3 times and i never really apreciated them or cared much for their music. sometimes i guess it takes sumthin bad to help u see something beautiful. this song has some of the most powerful lyrics ive ever heard in a song and has in my life helped me to avoid some very searious times. casting crowns is an inspiration and an incredable band to look up to.

[Haysha01]

Muito Lindo ^^

Amo essa músik <3

[leonilo2007]

I love this song sooo much!!! Me and my friend are gonna sing this in church soon....! we're having a duet... =]

[DMD013]

i sing this and cry because i know when i pray i cry while praying but before i lift my head tears are gone our eyes shouldn't be dry they should always be wet thinking of what jesus did is showing on how much he loves us right now times are hard i know a girl shes anathesis and this other girl she believes in a higher power they say don't talk about him around us but i do anyway he says if u deny me in front of your friends i will deny you in front of my father i don't want that

[bcwayo]

god bless you man nice video.

[IMetTheFab]

We ARE all reckless and careless, whether we notice it or not!!

[Dance74Him]

great song, great vid. But the lava makes my eyes hurt...lol...good job dmummy14

[TycieRae]

I love Casting Crowns. They just really speak what I want to say. I have lots of their songs memorized, including this one. I love this video too! You did a fantastic job making it ^.^

[EdwardsSweetie]

I would suggest a Parables bookstore. They sell posters, cds, and books and movies

[MoObEaRlovesPATD]

i really love this song! i can really relate to it :]

[nogoodsnleft]

Great song I might buy this cd Where does everyone get all their Christian CD's I can't find them anywhere can you only get them offline?

[dmummey14]

I buy my CD's at our local Christian bookstore or online. You can also go to the group's individual sites and they usually have a buy option there. God Bless!

[nogoodsnleft]

Thank you so much God Bless You too that will really help now the only other question is where would you be talking about Christina bookstore do you mean something like just Barnes and Noble or something like that?

[Domodeath]

@dmummey14 Great job

[jac9z]

@dmummey14 I HAVE SEEN THEM AT WALMART AND YOU CAN ORDER THEM ONLINE.

[DobeCrazy4ever]

@jac9z lol Walmart?

[jac9z]

@DobeCrazy4ever Yep believe it Walmart actually has a small selection of Christian music on CD's.

[DobeCrazy4ever]

@jac9z Lol I thought you meant you saw the members of the band in Walmart.

[Effyness]

If you can't find them near you, you can get them delivered to you. They sell them on a website called Sound and Spirit, and they can mail the catalog to you if you prefer that instead.

[xxfeelmybladex]

@nogoodsnleft uh i got mine from "tesco's" in dublin

[bigadamc10]

@nogoodsnleft like dmummey14 said you can also find them at your local wal-mart 

[crazychickluvsya]

CASTING CROWNS IS AWESOME!!!!

[Nickelback123890456]

[smalldude976]
