He Was Heard

In the days of old the priest would come With a lifeless sacrifice While the crowd in anxious silence Would wait outside As he entered in his temple They hoped he would be heard God would give them a tomorrow And the priest would stay alive Their only choice, their only hope Would he be heard Their only way they might be saved Would he be heard In the fullness of the promise time The Final Priest did come And He offered up a living sacrifice Now we His children wait for Him With hope and joyful praise For we know that God has heard Him For we know that He was raised He offered cheerful praise and He was heard He offered up His life and He was heard Chorus So let us fix our eyes upon The priest whom God did hear For the joy that was before Him He overcame the fear Oh, once and all He paid the cost Enduring all the shame Taking up the cruel cross Ignoring all the pain Repeat Chorus
