Altar Call

 

Altar Call

 

We are living stones of a spiritual house

And a spiritual priesthood -We espouse

This final sacrifice for all

And soÝ weÝ sing this altar call.

 

Come to the sacrifice of the perfect spotless lamb

No other altar will suffice to save the souls of man

Come to the sacrifice the finished work displayed

Where God paid the total price-And there atonement made.

 

For its notÝ by the blood of bulls and goats that salvation is bestowed

By the blood of the lamb we approach God's holy righteous throne

Now our high priest receives our prayer and knows our every need

So come to him and cast down your cares and He will intercede.

 

Yes He will intercede

 

We stand upon a foundation strong

We lift out voice and sing the song

Our cornerstone redeems us all

And so we sing this altar call.

 

Great High PriestÝ we fall down on our knees

And see our souls released by the GodÝ we've come to please.

Great High Priest, holy go-between

Our Priest, You alone redeem

A priest who is a prophet and a King

We bring to you our Holy Offering
