Build An Altar

Build An Altar – Powerful and Beautiful Worship – A Must Listen to – by The Harvest Bible Chapel Worship Band; Vertical Worship. (My Old Church – My Old Home)

Written and Recorded by Vertical Worship – Jason Ingram, Chris Davenport, Jacob Scooter, Timothy Dalrymple, Vanessa Dalrymple, and Andi Rozier.

Verse 1

We have every confidence
That He is faithful
Yes our testimony is
The living proof
And if you doubt the evidence
That He is able
Open your eyes
People get ready


Chorus

Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He’ll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There’s no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God


Verse 2

He makes a mountain move
With just a whisper
He calls the dead to walk
Out of a grave
Let the ones
That He redeemed
Lift up a banner
Now is the time
People get ready


Chorus

Just build an altar
Drench it in water
Stand back in wonder
He’ll start a fire
Nothing can stop Him
There’s no one like Him
He holds all power
This is our God


Bridge

If you’re running from Pharaoh He saves
Put your staff in the water in faith
Shout it out over Jericho and wait
It’s gonna fall down gonna fall down
If the odds are against you He saves
He can work with a handful of faith
It doesn’t matter the giants you face
They’re gonna fall down gonna fall down


Tag

Gonna fall down
They’re gonna fall down
Gonna fall down

Gonna fall down
People get ready

      The images you see are AI-generated; I’m continually refining the details until they closely match my vision or the essence I aim to capture. (It’s more challenging than it sounds!) I hope you enjoy them, and I hope that everyone will feel the images do justice to the song and lyrics.

      Be warned, it’s very addicting and at times, very frustrating, especially when things don’t turn out the way you want them to. It’s very time consuming, but I thank Dawgy Daddy for helping me get it started and going.

      Thank you so much for your understanding and kind comment. It’s funny, I received a lot of negative comments and criticism on other social media for the images. I explained that if they read the lyrics and related them to the images, they would see where I was going, but it just escalated. The last thing anyone should think of me is that I’m engaging in idolatry or mocking the Lord, but I suppose being judged comes with the territory.

      Thank You for Your Comment and I’m truly Happy that you like the song and the pictures.

      Have a Blessed Night and May the Lord Continue to Bless You today and always.

        That is amazing. Like the song Amazing Grace. I once was blind but now I see. Many don’t have eyes to see when the anointing is there. They just judge. But we get blessed for their cursing.

      Thank you so much. Sometimes we need to understand that many will hate us because We Love Him. Sometimes, it’s hard to accept because we want to be Loved, but sometimes, we just need to let go and let them wander. Better to lose someone then lose yourself.

        The Lord is always testing us to see if we will keep Him first. We cannot compromise our beliefs to please man. I have cried many tears being judged by those who I thought were my friends. But that is part of being a Christian and should never be avoided. He always blesses me for my pain in a better way. 🕊️💖

    A wonderful song. It explains the survival of Moses. Last week, we were celebrating the escape of our master Moses from Pharaoh and his people when God said to him, “Strike the sea with your staff and his believing people were saved. Indeed, God has power over all things.”

    One of the images looks like an altar on fire with people in it, and it gave me a thought that it is what it must look like when the church is in true worship, full of the Spirit, moving and flowing like the flames of fire.

      It’s both funny and sad. I shared the same post on my Facebook page and in several groups I admin and belong to, only to receive numerous negative and unkind comments. Some accused the images of being idolatrous and questioned my intentions, even suggesting I was mocking my faith. I was taken aback by their doubts. I explained that they needed to read the lyrics and listen to the song for the images to make sense, but alas, judges will judge and mockers will mock.

      Thank you so much; your words really touch my heart. My goal is simply to share what I believe God places on my heart, presenting it with testimonies, compassion, and humility. I aim to capture readers’ attention with images, poems and songs, without coming across as overly forceful or preachy “Bible Thumping). All Glory belongs to God and His Word alone.

    The times are ripe for the coming of our Lord and all that comes before it. Some believe we are ready in the end times and I would have to admit there are birthpain all around us stating He is coming soon. Because I am a women and am not called preach but I am called to share and teach. I teach a ladies bible class and I want to not warn to scare them them but encouraging them, “get ready”. Clean their lives up, get rid all those things that do not glorify Him. Draw close to him daily, ask Him to open our eyes to the truth of His word, give us wisdom, grace to live the God wants from us. Life now is not easy on so many levels, too much sin in our leaders, too much of sin in those who are shouting their own horn. When Moses told the Jews to follow him out of Egypt he did not do it on the back of race or a political stand. The only thing he based his call to come out of Egypt was God said to go. In fact , he told them to not go there in the first place, they worship Pegan Gods. Some would say I am getting a little too passionate on the coming of Christ. Honestly I am more passionate about the life I am living before He comes so others can possible to come to the Lord through our faith shining out of us. People are questioning a lot, especially the young, If our faith is strong in what we believe and we can back it up with Bible and our lives just maybe God will use us during this frail world we live in.

      Thank you so much for Reading and for your Wonderful and Encouraging Comment.

      Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt reflections on the significance of being prepared for the Lord’s coming and living a life that glorifies Him. Your passion for teaching and encouraging others in their faith journey shines brightly through your words.

      It’s true, these are challenging times, and the signs around us often point to the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. Your commitment to teaching in your ladies’ Bible class and encouraging them to draw closer to God, seek His wisdom, and live according to His will is truly inspiring. Your emphasis on cleaning up our lives and removing anything that doesn’t glorify Him resonates deeply—it’s a call to authenticity and wholehearted devotion.

      May God continue to use you mightily as you teach and share His Word, and may He strengthen and guide you in every step of your journey. Your commitment to living a life that honors Him is a powerful testament to His grace and love.

      God’s Continued Blessings to you as you continue to shine His light in this world.

      Wow, that’s a huge compliment—thank you so much! I still have a lot to learn about creating images. I often face criticism and judgment for my work. I try to explain that the images are meant to complement the words, and they are never intended to dishonor God or my faith. When I create, I follow the direction I’m given, and I never take the credit or glory; it’s all for Him.

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
