Lay down your weapons Lay down your violence Lay down rebellion Your heart of defiance
Love will ask of you more than truces If you're willing to lose Blessing far outweighs the loss when you lay it all On the Altar of Love
Lay down your idols Lay down your possessions Lay down your shrines and Your worldly obsessions
Love will ask of you more than treasure When you're willing to trust Blessing far outweighs the loss when you lay it all You lay it all on the Altar of Love
In the holiest room 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 Like the sun through shut eyes
Oh, the Altar of Love Yes, you come here to die But you know that it's good Cuz you come out alive
Love will ask of you more than you can give When you're willing to live Blessing far outweighs the loss when you lay it all On the Altar of Love
