Vessels of His Glory At the Altar of Sacrifice (I Lay Down My Life) Lyrics Vessels Of His Glory lyrics

Verse 1

At the altar of sacrifice I lay down my life
Everything hidden inside me
At the altar of sacrifice
You take my hand
And I know that You've purified me

Chorus

(And made me) Holy, holy and pure
Blameless as I stand before You
You've paid the price, and opened the door
Saying “Come close, I love and adore you!
I've made you holy, holy and pure
Blameless as you stand before Me
I shed My blood to make you secure
So you can now share in My glory.”

Verse 2:

At the altar of sacrifice,
in Your embrace
Your smile, like the sunlight, shines on me.
A sweet-smelling savor floats up to Your throne;
Your fire completely consumes me.

Chorus


(And makes me) Holy, holy and pure
Blameless as I stand before You
You've paid the price, and opened the door
Saying “Come close, I love and adore you!
I've made you holy, holy and pure
Blameless as you stand before Me
I shed My blood to make you secure
So you can now share in My glory.”

Bridge

I'm whiter than snow, sparkling and bright
Clothed in Your righteousness, bathed by Your light
Your gift of love to me - together we stand
In the light of Your presence, by the blood of the Lamb.
By the blood of the Lamb!
By the blood of the Lamb!
I stand in Your presence
By the blood of the Lamb.

End

Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb!
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb!
