Our Hands Upon Them – v2

We may not like this
the words of truth presented
we have chosen the others
to be our sacrifice

Like the animals
in ancient Israel, the temple,
brought into the tabernacle
to become the sacrifice

The innocent, pure
the animals unblemished
under the law
they had to be clean

Our hands upon them
placing our sins
the nations forgiven
in repenting to Thee

But the blood that will be spilled
the pain that will be felt
because we put our hands on them
not repenting instead

Keeping our money
our treasure, our power
with our hands upon them
they become our sacrifice

We may not like this
the words of truth presented
we have chosen the others
to be our sacrifice
