Altar to the Unknown God - Theocracy[00:00:00]

Build a fire and fan the flame[00:00:01]

Sacrifice without a name[00:00:03]

Offerings on the altar to the unknown god[00:00:06]

Multitudes of gods cover our landscapes and our lives[00:00:25]

Images of deities and halls of sacrifice[00:00:28]

Philosophers and scholars and sophisticates we are[00:00:30]

Our gods are our religion and religion is our god[00:00:34]

A stranger came to town one day[00:00:43]

And fearlessly proclaimed[00:00:44]

"The unknown god you worship[00:00:46]

On this altar has a name"[00:00:47]

He said "This god is not an image[00:00:49]

Or a statue of the dead[00:00:50]

In Him we live and have our being[00:00:52]

As your own poets have said"[00:00:54]

Build a fire and fan the flame[00:00:56]

Sacrifice without a name[00:00:58]

Offerings on the altar to the unknown god[00:01:01]

Dance around the altar blaze[00:01:08]

Brings the works your hands have made[00:01:10]

Place them on the altar to the unknown god[00:01:14]

He dwells not in temples[00:01:19]

Built by human hands[00:01:21]

He needs no assistance[00:01:22]

Or service of man[00:01:24]

The nameless you worship[00:01:26]

Is greater than all[00:01:27]

Your idols of death[00:01:29]

Never answer your call[00:01:30]

All nations He formed[00:01:32]

From the flesh of one man[00:01:33]

He marked out their times[00:01:35]

And the boundaries of lands[00:01:36]

Your life and your breath[00:01:38]

He bestows with the day[00:01:39]

So seek Him and find Him[00:01:41]

For He is not far away[00:01:43]

Fire upon the altar[00:02:25]

Burns the sacrifice[00:02:28]

Sacrificial lamb was slain to pay the final price[00:02:31]

Come ye heavy laden[00:02:37]

Sinner's mercy cry[00:02:40]

The unknown God your call upon is nigh[00:02:43]

Gather 'round the altar[00:03:02]

Stoke the holy fire[00:03:05]

Purifying flames of righteousness[00:03:08]

Are rising higher[00:03:11]

Come ye hungry eat the bread of life[00:03:14]

And drink the wine[00:03:18]

Altar to the living God divine[00:03:20]

No image of stone or of silver and gold[00:04:47]

No effigy mankind has raised to behold[00:04:50]

The day and the hour of judgment is set[00:04:53]

He's proven Him by the resurrection of the dead[00:04:56]

Build a fire and fan the flame[00:04:59]

Sacrifice without a name[00:05:02]

Offerings on the altar to the unknown god[00:05:05]

Stand before the altar blaze[00:05:11]

Bring the lives His hands have made[00:05:14]

Place them on the altar to the one true god[00:05:17]

Your unknown god[00:05:23]

Is the one living God[00:05:26]
