Altar after altar after altar
Sacrifice after sacrifice after sacrifice
every morning and night
day after day after day
week after week after week
year after year after year
decade after decade
to pay for the sins of the people
and to remind them
of the mercy and grace of God
until One Day
One Sacrifice
Once
For All!
Listen to Sunday Service Dec. 27 minutes 39-41
to hear the above thoughts spoken of so wonderfully!
Listen to the whole message to hear
the Greatest Story of profound love
authoring Living Hope!
Hope is life’s highway to Heaven
Hope is joy through sorrows met
By the Promise God has given
As the Temple-veil was riven
And the sins of man forgiven
By His Son who paid our debt
Hope is life’s exceeding glory
Nothing annuls Calvary
Though its bloody scene is gory
For our state so mean and sorry
Love suffered Redemption’s Story
And authored Hope’s Surety
Hope is mankind’s consolation
In a world so full of loss
For the sake of soul’s salvation
The Lord and God of creation
Did not doom us to damnation
But broke sin’s curse on the cross
Hope is life’s breathtaking beauty
King of king’s humility
Bore more than a ‘tour of duty’
He beheld our hopeless pity
Then secured, through death, the Vict’ry
That grants life eternally
Hope is not a fickle feather
Dangling on a chain of whim
Hope is the unfailing tether
That by faith will help us weather
Time, until we altogether
Look upon love’s scars and Him
