Lyrics
THE VEIL
Moses came down from the mount
came down with commandments
full of fear they would'nt go near
his face it was resplendant
he put a veil across his face
they could not stand your glory
he put a veil across his face
they could not stand your glory
Elijah saw the charriots
saw them come a swingin'
told his kin to open his eyes
and see the angels standin'
lift the veil from the sky
let me see your glory
help me not to be afraid
nor give in to worry
Jesus , Peter, James , and John
saw Moses and Elijah
as they prayed His face was changed
His robes shawn like the sun rise
they longed to build a dwelling there
they had seen your glory
upon the mount their came a cloud
it said this is my chosen
when Jesus died upon the cross
the ground it started shaking
the temple veil was ripped and torn
they surely were mistaken
oh rip the veil in my heart
let me see your glory
put a song in my mouth
and let me tell your story
The Church she is your pending bride
for you came a courting
wooing her with words of love
and promises of marriage
lift the veil from her eyes
let her see your glory
put a song in her mouth
let all the saints cry HOLY
Holy Holy .....Holy!
