downhere The Altar of Love Lyrics

Starts on F#m- hold until the first verse
Verse 1:
Lay down your weapons
Lay down your violence
Lay down rebellion
Your heart of defiance
Chorus 1:
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
Verse 2:
Lay down your idols
Lay down your possessions
Lay down your shrines and
Your worldly obsessions
Chorus 2:
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
Bridge:
In the holiest room
Where the curtain was torn
By the ultimate wound
Oh, the Altar of Love
Where the glory resides
Where the Father and Son
And the Spirit invites
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
'Cause you come out alive
You come out alive
Oh, oh, oh la da da
Instrumental:
Strummed and played just like the Choruses
E Bm F#m x3 then E Bm
Outro:
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
You lay it all
You lay it all
On the Altar of Love
F#m is played for the rest of the song.
