Put Out the Fire lyrics

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

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 purest 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
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

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

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

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
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
