You
placed a veil between us.
We longed to see Your face.
But, only one was chosen to
Enter the Holy Place .
We longed to see Your face.
But, only one was chosen to
Enter the Holy Place .
The veil
was thick as canvas;
Opaque, no misty dream.
We waited, with our perfect lambs,
And watched the crimson stream.
Opaque, no misty dream.
We waited, with our perfect lambs,
And watched the crimson stream.
There
came a mighty earthquake,
Deep darkness over the land;
A plaintive call to Heaven,
Pierced side and bleeding hand.
Deep darkness over the land;
A plaintive call to Heaven,
Pierced side and bleeding hand.
The
heavy veil split right in two
As a hand of lightning fell;
The top, down to the bottom ~
Not done by any man - we could tell.
As a hand of lightning fell;
The top, down to the bottom ~
Not done by any man - we could tell.
And,
suddenly, we knew that we
Were welcomed to God’s heart!
We only need to trust His Son
And let Him have His part.
Were welcomed to God’s heart!
We only need to trust His Son
And let Him have His part.
No one
between, but straight to God,
We make our glad petitions!
Our hearts became His very own,
Leaving this tradition.
We make our glad petitions!
Our hearts became His very own,
Leaving this tradition.
I grieve
to see some step between
The God Who loves us so.
I wish that I could tell the world
This Truth that they should know ...
The God Who loves us so.
I wish that I could tell the world
This Truth that they should know ...
No one
between our hearts and His;
No veil, no man, nothing seen!
We are welcomed to our Father
With nothing in between!
No veil, no man, nothing seen!
We are welcomed to our Father
With nothing in between!
