On the Altar of Love, in the holiest room 

                      A                      E

Where the curtain was torn by the ultimate wound

Oh, the Altar of Love where the glory resides

For the Father and Son and the Spirit invite

Oh, the Altar of Love, to its form we are blind

But you know when it's there

                          E

Like the sun through shut eyes

You come out alive, o---h
