The Lamb Himself the Temple Is

[Verse 1] By so much more, the oath was sworn, Jesus stands as surety sure— Guarantee of what was torn, A better covenant endures. The old grows old, decays, and fades, What once was written now gives way; He speaks a new, the first He makes Obsolete, ready to vanish away. [Pre-Chorus] Set the mind on flesh and death will come, But Spirit’s mind is life and peace; Without faith none can please the One Who is, and rewards the seeker’s plea. [Chorus] Thy throne, O God, forever stands, Scepter of righteousness in Your hand; Great God and Savior, blessed hope we see, The Lamb Himself the temple is— No veil, no stone, no distant sea, Just God Almighty dwelling free. (Lamb Himself the temple is) (Lamb Himself the temple is) [Verse 2] Draw near, believe He is the same, The God who sees and recompenses— Faith that pleases, not the name, But trust that finds His presence endless. We are the stones, alive and laid Upon the Corner, chosen, true; Built into a house, a holy grade, Offering what is only due. [Pre-Chorus] Through Jesus Christ the sacrifices rise, Acceptable, fragrant, pure— The old has vanished from our eyes, The better covenant is sure. [Chorus] Thy throne, O God, forever stands, Scepter of righteousness in Your hand; Great God and Savior, blessed hope we see, The Lamb Himself the temple is— No veil, no stone, no distant sea, Just God Almighty dwelling free. (Lamb Himself the temple is) (Lamb Himself the temple is) [Bridge] The Lamb is the temple, the Lord is the place, No temple stands where glory fills the space; Waiting for the appearing of glory and grace, Our great God and Savior, face to face. Faith that He is, faith that He rewards, Spirit that gives life where death once scored— Surety sworn, the old is gone, The throne remains, the Lamb is home. [Final Chorus] Thy throne, O God, forever stands, Scepter of righteousness in Your hand; Great God and Savior, blessed hope we see, The Lamb Himself the temple is— Living stones in Him we be, Forever His, forever free. (Lamb Himself the temple is) (Forever His, forever free)
