The Great High Priest Lyrics

THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST

VERSE 1: (John)

How will I cross this great divide

Between me and the Lord who will come to my side?

There is One who took my place,

For sin and death, I deserve this fate.

There is One who pleads my case;

Jesus comes alongside as I run this race.

He lives on; I know His word is true.

I will trust in His Spirit; He can live in you too.

CHORUS:

Only the Great High Priest can wipe away our tears,

Only the Prince of Peace can restore what time denies.

He is the King of Kings; let's exalt His holy name,

In Him alone is peace found; bring your burdens unto the Lord.

VERSE 2: (Richard)

Don't give up; set your eyes on the Lord.

When you feel down, you can call on the Lord.

Life isn't easy, brother, I know.

Hold my hand; let's put our trust in the Lord.

Don't give up; set your eyes on the Lord.

When you feel low, you can call on the Lord.

Life ain't easy, sister, I know.

Hold my hand; let's put our trust in the Lord.

OUTRO:

Father, we are here to glorify Your name.

Jesus, teach us Your ways, O Lord.

Holy Spirit, arrest our hearts for the Lord.

Dear Lord, take our sacrifice of praise.
