Bridge:
D MajorD         F# minorF#m
  In the holiest room
              A augmentedA
  Where the curtain was torn
          E MajorE
  By the ultimate wound
           B minorBm
  Oh, the Altar of Love
           F# minorF#m
  Where the glory resides
             A augmentedA
  Where the Father and Son
           E MajorE
  And the Spirit invites

E MajorE           D MajorD
  Oh, the Altar of Love
            F# minorF#m
  To its form we are blind
              A augmentedA
  But you know when it's there
               E MajorE
  Like the sun through shut eyes
           B minorBm
  Oh, the Altar of Love
             F# minorF#m
  Yes, you come here to die
              A augmentedA
  But you know that it's good
             E MajorE
  'Cause you come out alive
         B minorBm  D MajorD
  You come out alive
  B minorBm   D MajorD
  Oh, oh, oh la da da

 When you're willing to live
E MajorE      B minorBm      F# minorF#m          E MajorE B minorBm
Blessing far outweighs the loss when you lay it all
      E MajorE B minorBm
