You have neither desired,
Nor have taken pleasure;
Sacrifices admired,
And offering your treasure.
I have come to do Your will,
Doing away with the first;
Establishing to instill,
In having spiritual thirst.
For we have been sacrificed,
Offering of once and for all;
Through the offering of Christ,
Because Adam took the fall.
Every priest stands daily,
At the service of the Lord;
As black and white not grayly,
When being in one accord.
When Christ offered for all time,
Single sacrifice for sin;
No matter the type of crime,
That has corrupted within.
He sits on the right of God,
Waiting from the time for foes;
If we will honor and laud,
With sincerity He knows.
For the foe is just a fool,
That never was perfected;
And they will be His footstool,
Because they have rejected.
The Holy Spirit also bears,
Witness to everyone;
The new covenant one shares,
The Gospel about the Son.
For this is the covenant,
Make with them after those days;
Putting His laws permanent,
In heart and mind that stays.
God remembers of your sin,
And your lawless deeds no more;
The forgiveness this will win,
Sincere confessions that pour.
