The Temple Trembles
The temple now trembles now as it is filled By radiance and glory- all nature is stilled God’s presence has come out from that most holy place To meet with his children face to face. We are the temple God’s Spirit indwells Our heart is the altar where true praise now swells A glorious building made of living stones With light in our eyes and fire in our bones The water that cleanses in the Holy laver The altar where the One pure sacrifice finds favor The showbread, the lampstand that is filled with light The altar of incense where prayer takes its flight The one tabernacle where God and man meet The door, the way, the living vine, the one mercy seat The ark the manna and living Rod- the final Word of God The slain lamb now stands- and we see the Great I am. The temple now trembles, the temple now quakes God’s presence is revealed to us for our sakes Though once we were cast out we now enter in To feast with the Father once again.
