Upon Mount Moriah

2 Chronicles 3:1-4:22

[Verse 1] Construction begins on Mount Moriah at Ornan's threshing floor. The temple foundation follows measured length and breadth. The greater house is lined with cedar and decorated with gold, palms. Beams, posts, walls, doors, and cherubim receive gold covering. [Pre-Chorus] The people drew near, but not by careless way, Holiness ordered every word and day. [Chorus] Upon Mount Moriah, keep the covenant in view, Every word and ordered service true. From altar, ark, and house the witness rose, The holy God alone the ending knows. [Verse 2] Two carved cherubim stand within the most holy place. Their twenty-cubit wings touch the walls and one another. A veil of blue, purple, crimson, and fine linen bears cherubim. The pillars are named Jachin and Boaz. [Bridge] The molten sea rests upon twelve oxen facing the four directions. Ten lavers, ten candlesticks, and ten tables are placed by ordered sides. Courts, doors, pots, shovels, basins, and bronze works are completed by Huram. Golden altars, tables, lampstands, flowers, lamps, tongs, bowls, spoons. [Final Chorus] Upon Mount Moriah, keep the covenant in view, Every word and ordered service true. From altar, ark, and house the witness rose, The holy God alone the witness shows. [Outro] The lamps burned low, the ordered service stayed. The covenant remembered every vow that had been made.
