Further Up, Further In (13:20-25)
Now may the God of peace who raised from the dead
The great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of a covenant
That'll never stop, that will not cease, that endures to eternity
Glory to the living priest who ever lives to intercede
May this God give you everything you need
To endure to the end and His promises receive
May he grant you the faith to believe
What the Son has said to us
And when the road's grown especially hard
And you feel like your soul and your body are scarred
By the aches and pains of faith
May the Lord give you strength
To endure
Jesus is the center of the story of the days
He's the true light of the glory
Not the shadow or the shade
Seated with the Father, honored
Offered up to save
He is worthy and deserving of praise
He is better, Christ is better
He is better, Christ is better
He is better, Christ is better than the
Angels
He is better than the prophets
He is better than Moses
He is better than them all
He is better than the Levites
He is better than the offerings they make
And they prayers that they pray
He is the new and better way
Amen
So why did Jesus come to earth?
I hope it's clearly seen
To be appointed as a high priest
And to die as an offering
O come on all you saints
And give the Savior love
Born a babe and now he reigns
Before the throne of God above.
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on his hands
My name is written on his heart
I know that while in heaven he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look, and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
Behold him there! the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable "I Am"
The King of glory and of grace
One with himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
The great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of a covenant
That'll never stop, that will not cease, that endures to eternity
Glory to the living priest who ever lives to intercede
May this God give you everything you need
To endure to the end and His promises receive
May he grant you the faith to believe
What the Son has said to us
And when the road's grown especially hard
And you feel like your soul and your body are scarred
By the aches and pains of faith
May the Lord give you strength
To endure
Jesus is the center of the story of the days
He's the true light of the glory
Not the shadow or the shade
Seated with the Father, honored
Offered up to save
He is worthy and deserving of praise
He is better, Christ is better
He is better, Christ is better
He is better, Christ is better than the
Angels
He is better than the prophets
He is better than Moses
He is better than them all
He is better than the Levites
He is better than the offerings they make
And they prayers that they pray
He is the new and better way
Amen
So why did Jesus come to earth?
I hope it's clearly seen
To be appointed as a high priest
And to die as an offering
O come on all you saints

Before the throne of God above
