THE VEIL WAS TORN

A Holy veil hung there/ separating God from man

Man was not yet holy/ before God he could not stand

God sent His only Son/ as sacrifice for man’s sin

And the second that Jesus died/ man could now enter in

CHORUS

Yes the veil was torn/ ripped by God’s mighty hand

A new age was born/ between God and man

Yes the age of grace/ where man on his own

Could come face to face/ with God on His throne

---------------------------------------------------------------

There stood a rugged cross/ a symbol of shame and pain

But on it Christ would die/ to remove our every stain

When He said it is finished/ Jesus won the victory

And the veil was ripped asunder/ made way for you and me

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE

Yes man was now made holy/ through the blood of God’s Son

And the veil was now removed/ so man could boldly come

REPEAT CHORUS
