A heavenly high priest, a better covenant, and a promise to write the law on the heart fill all 13 verses of this chapter.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
In the things which we are saying The main point is this We have such a high priest who sat down On the right hand of the throne of the Majesty
In the heavens a servant of the sanctuary And of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched not man For every high priest is appointed to offer Both gifts and sacrifices
Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer For if he were on earth he would not be a priest at all Seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law Who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry By as much as he is also the mediator Of a better covenant which on better promises Has been given as law
For if that first covenant had been faultless Then no place would have been sought for a second For finding fault with them he said Behold the days are coming
That I will make a new covenant With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand
To lead them out of the land of Egypt For they did not continue in my covenant And I disregarded them says the Lord For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
I will put my laws into their mind I will also write them on their heart I will be their God and they will be my people They will not teach every man his fellow citizen
A better covenant on better promises In him all knowing the Lord From least to greatest His mercies endure forever
