lyrics

Since we have a great high priest, a great high priest, our Jesus
Who has passed through heavenlies to intercede for us.

Let us hold fast our confession,
For the Lord has been there too;
And let us draw near to heaven
He will help you through.

//

Let me tell you ‘bout the high priests,
Chosen from among men, sent to represent them,
And to act on behalf of a people that have a sin problem.

Let me tell you ‘bout the high priest,
Once every year, there’s a day where they, well he enters in the holiest place,
To ask grace to be saved from the sin problem.

Let me ask you ‘bout this high priest:
Sounds like a righteous guy. Is his life spotless and sanctified?
Nothin’ condemnin’ him like a sin problem?

Let me tell you the sin problem,
The funny thing is, as you’ll see, he has the same disease.
So he must atone for his own sins first. What on earth?

It’s like he’s not a very good high priest.
How’s he gonna intercede when he’s got the same infirmity?
Wouldn’t the Lord show anger towards him as well
Cause just as sinful as the rest of Israel?

I see your point but you’ve gotta see mine:
These men were appointed by God’s design,
Designed to die? No designed to sympathize
With the lives of the Israelites.

I think you might be losing your mind, there, Thom!
Sympathy’s not going to save.
I know but listen to what I’m saying, Kelsie.

These guys are like shadows and types.
Yeah, ineffectual types. Your guitar’s an ineffectual type.

But what we can agree on is this:
Jesus, He is better, He is infinitely better.
Blameless, spotless, sinless, righteous.
Able to fight this sinful-itis,

Able to right these wrongs that plague us,
Able to justify and save us,
Able to sympathize with our weakness
Cause He has taken on flesh to seek us.

He is better in every way
Than the Levite priests of the olden days,
For His priestly reign will never ever cease,
And he is of the order of an ancient priest.

As said by the Lord who declared it so
And appointed Him a priest by the word of an oath.

Let us tell you ‘bout this great high priest.
In the days of his flesh, he prayed
(With cries and tears, with righteous fear)
To the one who was able to save him from death.

Though a son, he learned to obey
By bearing weight and suff’ring pain,
And a perfect priest he became.
And now he is able to save us from death.
For he is of the order of Melchizedek
