If perfection was possible,
Through the Levitical priesthood;
What is further achievable,
That could ever be understood.
In the priesthood having a change,
Then there is a change in the Law;
For God is able to arrange,
Giving clemency for a flaw.
For in Christ these things are spoken,
Which none has served at the altar;
For all others have been broken,
Since each one is a falling star.
It is evident that the Lord,
Had descended down from Judah;
Nothing about priests will afford,
To the level of Jehovah.
It is even more evident,
Similar to Melchizedek;
A person who is confident,
But a humbled and tiny speck.
The law of carnal commandment,
But the power of endless life;
Your life gets an amendment,
When living in the midst of strife.
For you are a priest forever,
As is witnessed and testified;
For the Gospel will not sever,
And it can never be denied.
If commandments are set aside,
From a uselessness or weakness;
If ignored or will not abide,
Might experience a bleakness.
A better hope is introduced,
Through which we can draw near to God;
As righteousness can be produced,
Through worship to honor and laud.
For it was not without an oath,
By those who have become priests;
When sworn for your spiritual growth,
To battle the infernal beasts.
