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
