The Two Altars

The altar of burnt offering In God’s economy, Is Christ, the bronzed acacia wood, Judged in humanity. The altar of burnt offering The cross of Christ displays, One person—Christ; one way—the cross— Encompass all God’s ways. The altar of burnt offering’s Where precious blood was shed; The blood of Jesus is our plea As forward we are led. The altar of burnt offering Is meeting God’s demand, God’s righteousness and holiness Are our eternal stand. |

Come forward to the Holiest; With God, in oneness, pray; The precious blood’s applied again, God’s economic way. Anointing oil applied upon Both altars clearly shows: The move of God’s eternal grace Between two altars flows. The fire from heaven, which came down To burn the offered Son, Becomes the fire to incense burn, As fragrance to God’s throne; The sweetness we experience Through Christ’s inclusive death, Is sweetness unto God through our Ascending, praying breath. |

Lord, thank You that we can in oneness pray, to apply your blood in such an economic way!
