It would have been enough for me
To stand beyond the Court
To view Your beauty from afar
A glance, but nothing more
But it was not enough for You
The distance far too great
You tore the Curtain with Your love
And called me through the Gate
Chorus:
Beyond the Curtain
Into His presence
Beyond the Holy Place
Into God's throne
Emmanuel is He
Reigning in majesty
Beyond the Curtain
He welcomes me home
It still was not enough for You
To call me to Your throne
To offer greater fellowship
Than man had ever known
What king would dare deny His pow'r
To die for lawless slaves
So God could dwell, Emmanuel
In human hearts of clay?
(Chorus).
To stand beyond the Court
To view Your beauty from afar
A glance, but nothing more
But it was not enough for You
The distance far too great
You tore the Curtain with Your love
And called me through the Gate
Chorus:
Beyond the Curtain
Into His presence
Beyond the Holy Place
Into God's throne
Emmanuel is He
Reigning in majesty
Beyond the Curtain
He welcomes me home
It still was not enough for You
To call me to Your throne
To offer greater fellowship
Than man had ever known
What king would dare deny His pow'r
To die for lawless slaves
So God could dwell, Emmanuel
In human hearts of clay?
