Altar of Peace Mahalia Jackson

[Intro]
(Pray the good Lord will guide you everyday)
(Everyday)

[Verse 1]
Everyone should pray for an altar of peace
Don't let nothing stop in your way
Pray that love and joy in this world will never cease
And the good Lord will guide you everyday

[Verse 2]
I pray every night for an altar of peace
Candles glow so bright with every prayer
And I feel heaven near, [?]
Mercy from the Lord way up there

[Verse 3]
When you kneel to pray for an altar of peace
Ask the world to join you in prayer
Then you'll feel God's love in your heart will increase
And His blessing you'll know He's everywhere

[Verse 3]
(When you kneel to pray for an altar of peace)
Ask the world to join you in prayer
Then you'll feel God's love in your heart will increase
And His blessing you'll know He's everywhere
