Another hit by Christian rock band MercyMe.
Separated until the veil was torn
The moment that hope was born
and guilt was pardoned once and for all
Captivated but no longer bound by chains
left at an empty grave
the sinner and the sacred resolved
and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down
and all of creation sing with me now
fill up the heavens let his glory resound
Time has faded and we see him face to face
every doubt erased forever we will worship the king
and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down
and all of creation sing with me now
fill up the heavens let his glory resound
ohh ah ohhh...ohh ah ohhh
the reason we breathe is to sing of his glory
and for all he has done praise the Father praise the Son and the Spirit in one
and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down
and all of creation sing with me now
fill up the heavens let his glory resound
and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down
and all of creation sing with me now
fill up the heavens let his glory resound
and every knee will bow oh and every tongue praise the father praise the son and the spirit in one
This is a joyful song of praise. When Jesus died, the Bible says that the veil in the temple of Jerusalem was torn. The veil was separating the most sacred place from the rest, so it's a symbol of how God broke out of the temple and spread all over the world, all over the creation. Anyway, the sentence "Separated until the veil was torn" means that We couldn't really see God face to face (experience Him fully) until Jesus died and saved us on the cross. And because that happened, now we all must rejoice and sing praises to God, and the whole creation must rejoice with us (another biblical image).
