Bridge:
[D] In the holiest [F#m]room
Where the curtain was t[A]orn

Oh, the Altar of [Bm]Love
Where the glory r[F#m]esides
Where the Father and [A]Son
And the Spirit in[E]vites
[E] Oh, the Altar of L[D]ove
To its form we are [F#m]blind
But you know when it's [A]there
Like the sun through shut [E]eyes
Oh, the Altar of [Bm]Love
Yes, you come here to [F#m]die
But you know that it's g[A]ood
'Cause you come out a[E]live
You come out a[Bm]live[D]
[Bm]Oh, oh, [D]oh la da da
