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

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

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

You lay it all
      E Bm
You lay it all

On the Altar of Love
