Sacrifice
by Stephen Kirk

Album: Rising

Let mortal flesh keep silence
and stand with fear and trembling.
Hold nothing earthly in your heart.
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
has come to be the sacrifice,
given as food for us all.

The angels go before him
with every tribe and nation,
and covering their faces cry aloud.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

The veil of time is torn now,
we're drawn into eternity.
Heaven now is opened for us all.
So to the One upon the throne
And to the Lamb be every praise,
Honour and glory evermore.

The angels go before him
with every tribe and nation,
and covering their faces cry aloud.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
