Lyrics
They wore the linen, bore the blood
Climbed the steps where Aaron stood
But death collected every debt
And snuffed the flame before it set
A line of priests, a line of graves
Each one crushed beneath the weight
The altar smoked but couldn't save
The gap stayed wide, the curse remained
But past the veil a voice survives
A heartbeat death could never bind
The Savior prays! He always lives!
No borrowed blood, no broken wick
He climbed the altar, gave His frame
Once for all, then spoke my name
(He intercedes!) He never sleeps!
The priest who bled still intercedes
His oath outweighs the law's decree
Forever priest, forever free
Holy! Innocent! Undefiled!
(Separated!) Exalted high!
No sin to purge, no guilt to hide
He offered once, the Lamb who died!
The law made priests from fragile men
Who crumbled back to dust again
But the oath that came when the law was spent
Made a Son, made perfect, permanent
Right now He speaks where I cannot reach
Right now the Savior prays for me
And every word He breathes won't cease
Until I stand before His feet
A line of priests, a line of graves
Each one crushed beneath the weight
The altar smoked but couldn't save
The gap stayed wide, the curse remained
The Savior prays! He always lives!
No borrowed blood, no broken wick
He climbed the altar, gave His frame
Once for all, then spoke my name
(He intercedes!) He never sleeps!
The priest who bled still intercedes
His oath outweighs the law's decree
Forever priest, forever free
