lyrics

Now gather ‘round all you ladies and gents:
Let me tell you about this earthly tent
To where the Lord descended and people were told to repent.

What you may not know, there Jane and Joe,
Is that long ago they’d take bulls and goats and they’d cut their throats
And hope the blood would save-a their souls.

If you look back, Jack, to the Tabernacle
With a deep respect, I think you’ll be thankful
That the old is gone, and the new has taken its place.
It was glorious space, that holy tent,
For that come-but-stay-away covenant,
But the new’s been sent, and the old has passed away.

Now don’t mishear me, don’t get me wrong,
It was splendid tent forty-five feet long
And fifteen high and fifteen wide,
With beautiful walls on the side and it was divided in two big parts.

The priest would start in the holy place
Where he would go in each day to offer things
So that the Lord would change his mind and not destroy everyone in line.

The next part was the Most Holy Place and every year there was just one day,
Where the high priest would go behind the curtain determined to avert
The certain wrath of God that would destroy the vermin of the land.

And in the grand plan of wisdom divine, the inside was like a Garden,
Ripe with relics prized which symbolized that Paradise you might could find.

And if you look back, Jack, to the Tabernacle
With a deep respect, I think you’ll be thankful
That the old is gone, and the new has taken its place.

It was glorious space, that holy tent,
For that come-but-stay-away covenant,
But the new’s been sent, and the old has passed away.

Kill the bull, offer the grain,
Make a sacrifice to God and then do it again.

What can wash away my sin? Not the blood of animals.
What can make me whole again? Not the blood of animals.

O feeble is the stream that leaves my soul unclean!
No creature can redeem. Not the blood of animals
