Lyrics[]
I built an altar in the field
So I'll remember
Back to this time when it's so real
That I am loved and not alone
And if I pass by here again
I'll be able to see
My life was scattered like these stones
Until the Lord began to gather me
I built an altar in the field
So I'll remember
I built an altar in this field
In honor, in memory
Of the many graces I've been shown
And the ones I've yet to see
And so I leave this symbol
Fashioned by my hands
A marker of a love I will never understand
I leave an altar in the field
And when I'm lost inside my sorrow
Overtaken by my fear
When I am wandering in the wilderness
Perhaps the Lord will lead me here
To this altar in the field, where I'll remember
Oh, I will remember
