human sacrifice – v2

Christ down from heaven
the Paschal lamb, the altar to God
the rugged cross, the stone-cold tomb
becoming our human sacrifice
what tears there must have been in heaven
God on trial, accused of blasphemy
God on the cross, our atoning sacrifice
our sins upon him, giving himself
to redeem the lost, the least
sinners while yet sinning
the one final human sacrifice
this choice of the Christ
dying, rising from the cold tomb
to raise the dead, to give us life
