PRIESTHOOD – A Priest Upon His Throne by Bro H

Verse 1 Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Priest forever after Melchizedek.” The Branch will build the temple of the Lord, Bear the glory, sit, and rule upon His throne. Under Moses, kings and priests were kept divided; The altar stood apart from David’s crown. But the counsel of peace is between them both— The Priest and King in one eternal office now. Chorus A Priest upon His throne, The Lamb who offered up Himself alone. Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Priest forever”—His oath will stand through time. Prophet, Priest, and King—fulfilled in One; We have no king but King Jesus, God’s anointed Son. Verse 2 Christ did not glorify Himself as High Priest; The Father called Him to the office by His oath. At thirty years of age He stood in Jordan, And the Spirit came upon Him like a dove. “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” Was the ordination spoken from above. Then He faced temptation in the wilderness— Tested in all points, yet He did not sin. Chorus A Priest upon His throne, The Lamb who offered up Himself alone. Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Priest forever”—His oath will stand through time. Prophet, Priest, and King—fulfilled in One; We have no king but King Jesus, God’s anointed Son. Verse 3 Caiaphas put Him under oath before the council: “Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus answered under oath, as Law required: “You will see the Son of Man at Power’s right hand.” Then Caiaphas tore what priests were forbidden to tear, And by that act disqualified himself. There remained one lawful Priest and one pure offering— Jesus went to Calvary as Sacrifice and Priest. Verse 4 He needed no sin offering for Himself; Holy, harmless, undefiled, without a stain. Not with the blood of goats or calves, but His own blood, He entered once and our eternal redemption gained. When He cried, “It is finished,” He completed What a thousand yearly offerings could not do. Then the risen Priest sat down upon His throne— Confirmed by power of an endless life. Chorus A Priest upon His throne, The Lamb who offered up Himself alone. Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Priest forever”—His oath will stand through time. Prophet, Priest, and King—fulfilled in One; We have no king but King Jesus, God’s anointed Son. Verse 5 He always lives to make intercession; He sees every thought and understands our frame. So come boldly to the throne to obtain mercy And find grace to help us in our time of need. He loved us and washed us in His own blood And made us kings and priests before His God. No mortal priest, rebuilt altar, or earthly temple Can add one thing to the work of Christ our Lord. Final Chorus A Priest upon His throne, The Lamb who offered up Himself alone. Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a Priest forever”—His oath will stand through time. Prophet, Priest, and King—fulfilled in One; We have no king but King Jesus, God’s anointed Son.
