Put Out the Fire

John the Baptist at the Jordan preached the coming of the Lord Baptizing everyone who would believe Among the crowd that gathered, they're a watching from the shore I'd imagine there were scribes and Pharisees I can see John pointing toward Jerusalem that day, to the place of temple sacrifice Saying through the years those lambs have never washed our sins away But hope is here, behold the Lamb of God -Chorus- Put out the fire, here comes the glory Your sacrifice is not as worthy He's come to die, to make us holy We've found the perfect lamb Put out the fire The smoke up at the temple sent a message to the world, that every sin of man would have a price Daily as the priest prepared an offering for the Lord, the purist of all lambs would have to die But when John saw the promise walking down ol' Jordan's banks The answer to the cries of all the lost He knew up at the temple, things were soon about the change, the altar would forever be the cross -Chorus- He was prophesied to rise out of the seed of Abraham Coming by a virgin down in lowly Bethlehem The one who angels worshipped since before the world began Has stepped into the Jordan as the spotless lamb -Chorus x2- Your sacrifice is not as worthy We've found the perfect lamb, put out the fire We've found the perfect lamb, we've found the Great I Am We've found the perfect lamb Put out the fire
