    Altar Of Our Praise

  • Artist:

    Chris Tomlin

This is one of the songs premiered at Passion 2012.  I felt that the first version 
had just a few issues, so I thought I'd put up my changes.

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Capo 4

Verse 1:
  G                   Am7
You came down  from heaven’s throne
     D/F#                 C
This earth you formed was not your home
  Em                 C               G         D
A love like this the world had never known
   G                 Am7
A crown of thorns to mark your head
   D/F#           C
Forgiveness fell upon Your face
  Em                 C               G         D
A love like this the world had never known

Chorus:
         G                              D/F#         G
  On the altar of our praise  let there be no higher name
  C     G/B    D-Dsus4-D                                    
  Jesus Son of God
           Em                          D/F#         G
  You laid down your perfect life  you are the sacrifice
  C     G/B   D/F#
  Jesus Son of God
  C      G/B   D/F#             
  Jesus Son of God

Verse 2:
    G                Am7
You took our sin you bore our shame
    D/F#                C 
You rose to life you defeated the grave
  Em                 C                G        D
A love like this the world had never known
    G                Am7
You took our sin you bore our shame
    D/F#                C 
You rose to life you defeated the grave
  Em                 C                G      Em   C   D/F#
A love like this the world had never known
          
Bridge:
           C                      G   D/F#                       
Be lifted higher than all you’ve overcome
             C               G     D/F#
Your name be louder than any other song
            C              G                 D/F#                        
There is no power that can come against your love
    C          G          Em         D/F#     
The cross was enough  The cross was enough 
    C          G          Em         D/F#     C
The cross was enough  The cross was enough
