A few quick notes on The Altar

I agree with Maranda's observation. 

"Broken" implies that the author feels as though his means of worshipping has been flawed in some way. The tone of this poem seems almost apologetic to me. 
He seems to simply be stating that he is devoted to God because God created him. 
I thought the phrase "hold my peace" was an interesting way of saying "remain silent," considering that the poem is titled The Altar. 
Also, does anyone have any insight as to what the capitalization may mean?
