The Great High Priest by Richard Shekari from Abuja, Fct Nigeria

the great high priest

verse 1: (john)
how will i cross this great divide
between me and the lord who will come to my side?
there is one who took my place,
for sin and death, i deserve this fate.
there is one who pleads my case;
jesus comes alongside as i run this race.
he lives on; i know his word is true.
i will trust in his spirit; he can live in you too.

chorus:
only the great high priest can wipe away our tears,
only the prince of peace can restore what time denies.
he is the king of kings; let's exalt his holy name,
in him alone is peace found; bring your burdens unto the lord.

verse 2: (richard)
don't give up; set your eyes on the lord.
when you feel down, you can on the lord.
life isn't easy, brother, i know.
hold my hand; let's put our trust in the lord.
don't give up; set your eyes on the lord.
when you feel low, you can on the lord.
life ain’t easy, sister, i know.
hold my hand; let's put our trust in the lord.

outro:
father, we are here to glorify your name.
jesus, teach us your ways, o lord.
holy spirit, arrest our hearts for the lord.
dear lord, take our sacrifice of praise.
