The Bells Are Ringing
|
|
The high priest would move through the temple
|
With bells around the bottom of his skirt
|
And as he prepared an offering there
|
The sound of the bells could be heard
|
Now there in the Holy of Holies
|
A sinful priest surely would die
|
But the sound of the bells sent a message
|
To all those who waited outside
|
|
CHORUS:
|
The bells are ringing He's alive
|
Oh yes the sacrifice is worthy
|
A sound that cannot be denied
|
The price has been paid
|
And as our hands are being raised
|
Let His holy name be praised
|
Tell every nation every tribe
|
The bells are ringing He's alive
|
|
Now Jesus was born the Messiah
|
A man sent to save other men
|
And scripture proclaims He is the high priest
|
Who offered Himself for our sins
|
And cold was the tomb where they laid Him
|
And there only silence was found
|
But on the third day the stone rolled away
|
And the whole world woke up to the sound
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Open up your heart and listen
|
Tell me what do you hear
|
It's the sound of salvation
|
Ringing He's alive and there's no need to fear
|
|
CHORUS
|
(repeat)
|
|
In every nation in every tribe
|
The bells are ringing He's alive
|
