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
