Lyrics for Song: The Temple Of The Living God
Lyrics for Album: ? Live [2007]
And then after all,
with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God.
And outside the gate
the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God (2 Chr 7:1)
To see the temple of the living God
Solo
Suffer, trespass, stranger redeemed (Leviticus 21:18)
The blind, the lame, the flat nosed, superfluous
Broken footed on burning sand
The Priest, the seed, the blood stained hand
The leper testifies and turns to dust
And then after all,
with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God. (Jer 29:13)
And outside the gate
the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God
To see the temple of the living God
Oblation, vows, the promise of faith
Atonement, the wine, oil and cakes
The sheep, the goats, acceptable in his eyes
The maimed, the blemished, the scurvy scabbed
The creeping things, the firstborn lamb
Avail his presence in the house of sacrifice
And then after all,
with our backs against the wall
We seek the temple of the living God
And outside the gate
the cripples sit and wait
To see the temple of the living God (2 Chr 7:14,16)
To see the temple of the living God
