Behold Jesus our great Righteous King

Priest of the Most High, always serving
That we might always draw near to God

Jesus is greater than Abraham
Deserves the gift of our daily lives
Offers access to the great I Am
No other priest offers what He gives

The Spirit seals and guarantees
Our wondrous salvation
The way to God the Spirit frees
That we to God might run
By Him we are God’s dwelling place
The Temple of our Lord
God’s truth He reveals to our race
Take up His Holy Word
The Spirit strengthens each of us
Surrounds us with God’s love
Unites God’s people in Jesus
To serve our God above
So let us live humbly as one
From sins that grieve Him flee
Follow His lead as Christ has done
Live each day prayerfully
