Upon Your Altar

Lyrics Below… “Upon Your Altar” is arranged in the style of 1967 British Psychedelic Pop Rock, with the colorful, imaginative studio sound of the Sgt. Pepper era. A Retro 60s Psychedelic Rock Jesus Movement Music song and arrangement The song is a declaration of surrender, redemption, and the victorious reign of Jesus Christ. It begins with Jesus' words from John 10:18, proclaiming that no one takes His life from Him, but that He freely lays it down. The chorus draws from Romans 12:1, calling believers to present themselves to God as living sacrifices. The verses celebrate Christ bearing our sins, His indwelling presence, His identity as the Word of God, and His eternal holiness. The final verse proclaims the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world and His victory upon the earth. Throughout the song, Christ's willing sacrifice becomes the foundation for our own surrender to God. **UPON YOUR ALTAR** **LYRICS** [Verse 1] No One Takes My Life I Freely Lay It Down No One Takes My Life I Freely Lay It Down [Chorus] Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God A Living Sacrifice [Verse 2] Taking All My Sin And Now You Live Within Your Name Is The Word Of God You Placed Me On The Rock [Chorus] Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God A Living Sacrifice [Verse 3] With Choir Of Angels I Continually Will Sing Holy, Holy, Holy To You My King Of Kings [Chorus] Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God A Living Sacrifice [Verse 4] O The Lamb That Was Slain Before The Founding Of The World You Are Now To Reign On Earth The Victory You Gained No One Takes My Life I Freely Lay It Down No One Takes My Life I Freely Lay It Down [Chorus] Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God Upon Your Altar, Oh God A Living Sacrifice © 2003 Shiloh Worship Music.
