Blood of the lamb
poured out onto the ground
spread on the horns of the altar
as in the ages of old
the ordinances for the tabernacle
for the people of God
Blood of the lamb,
the sacrifice, poured out for us
on the rock of the skull
his body on the altar of the cross
blood spread on the horns, the arms
falling to the ground
washing away all of our sin
