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).
