“Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not desire; Mine ears hast Thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast Thou not required. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of Me, I delight to do Thy will, O My God: yea, Thy law is within My heart” (Psalm 40:6-8). “But Christ being come an High Priest of good things to come… neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us… who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God” (Hebrews 9:11-14).
The
sacrifices had their place
When
offerings were sacrificed,
For
they were patterns of the grace
And
of the truth to come by Christ.
Come,
see the volume of the book
With
prophecies which God inspired!
The
Lord declared where He will look
To
find the Sacrifice required.
The
rivers of the blood that ran
From
goats and calves and other beasts
Were
shadows of God’s wondrous plan
Portrayed
by sacrificial feasts.
Yet
in those sacrifices brought,
There
was never was a Savior found.
The
grace and truth which God had sought
In
Christ alone would yet abound.
In
Jesus Christ, the great I AM,
Who
gave Himself to grant us favor,
We
have beheld God’s spotless Lamb,
And
we have found our wondrous Savior!
Lord,
in the Psalms we’ve heard Your voice
Recorded
long before You came!
How
greatly now our hearts rejoice
That
You have purged our sin and shame!
Our
Savior and our Sacrifice,
How
great was our redemption’s cost!
You
gave Yourself to pay that price,
And
we proclaim it to the lost.
