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 the temple, they only hoped he would be heard
God would give them a tomorrow and the priest could 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

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

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

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
