It has been necessary,
To copy heavenly things;
To purify not worry,
What a sacrifice brings.
For Jesus Christ has entered,
Not into holy places;
Made with hands that are tendered,
But for heavenly graces.
Which are figures of the true,
But itself into Heaven;
Appear before God for you,
Of your salvation given.
Nor yet that He should offer,
As the high priest does enter;
With the blood for another,
Who would be the lamenter.
For He would have to suffer,
Ever since the foundation;
And appearing to buffer,
Those who look for salvation.
He has appeared once for all,
At the end of the ages;
Put away what caused the fall,
Made emotional rages.
Just as it is appointed,
For men and women to die;
That they become anointed,
That judgment comes from the sky.
Christ having offered to bear,
The sins of everyone;
Showing the Father does care,
By relinquishing His Son.
He will return one more time,
Not for dealing with the sin;
Rather those saved from their crime,
Through heavenly discipline.
