The copies of things in Heaven,
Be cleansed for sacrifices given;
Heavenly things must cleanse better
From the standards of the letter.
For Christ did not go to a place,
That was made out of human hands;
Nor a model of the real thing,
Rather a place where angels sing.
Into Heaven for our sake,
Appear to God appeal to make;
That the blood from His sacrifice,
Was for paying our whole price.
Christ did not go more times again,
Rather for one time He has been;
For all in remission of sin.
That His Spirit cleanses within.
He would have suffered many times,
In considering all of the crimes;
Since the world had been created,
When Adam had violated.
But the end of another age,
In closing the curtain on stage;
Christ has appeared once to remove,
For the Father go approve.
People die once when they are judged,
But God is just no one begrudged;
Then we lie and eagerly wait,
And taken to the pearly gate.
Christ will appear again once more,
And escort us each to a door;
To the place with no urgency,
Where we will spend eternity.
