Hebrews 4:14 - 5:10 & 7:11-28 |
|
In the days of old the priest would come |
|
With a lifeless sacrifice |
|
While the crowd in anxious silence |
|
Would wait outside |
|
As he entered in his temple |
|
They hoped he would be heard |
|
God would give them a tomorrow |
|
And the priest would stay alive |
|
Their only choice, their only hope |
|
Would he be heard |
|
Their only way they might be saved |
|
Would he be heard |
|
In the fullness of the promise time |
|
The Final Priest did come |
|
And He offered up a living sacrifice |
|
Now we His children wait for Him |
|
With hope and joyful praise |
|
For we know that God has heard Him |
|
For we know that He was raised |
|
He offered cheerful praise and He was heard |
|
He offered up His life and He was heard |
|
Chorus |
|
So let us fix our eyes upon |
|
The priest whom God did hear |
|
For the joy that was before Him |
|
He overcame the fear |
|
Oh, once and all He paid the cost |
|
Enduring all the shame |
|
Taking up the cruel cross |
|
Ignoring all the pain |
|
Repeat Chorus |
