Song Lyrics

---

They had a whole year to make atonement
Even that was a yoke
The Catholics confess sins just about once each week
And we have to each time we fail?
Some say at communion,
some say through the day each time we slip

They had a whole year to make atonement
That was a master plan
Until the time the True Lamb of God was given
the mere atonement lasted for a year
But like no other lamb
One Sacrifice for sins forever

*
If it is everyday
isn’t that a greater yoke
If it is to be everyday
Isn’t that a heavier yoke
No, no, my Saviour
came to make it easy -
that by faith I enter

The Holy Sanctuary can’t take man’s sins
And yet unstruck I dwell
in the Holiest. More than atonement,
the curtain was torn
Like no other high priest could
Christ sat down, the work was finished!

*
It is finished
At Calvary’ Cross
“It is finished!”
He cried out
“Eloi, lama sabachtani!”
So that in spite of sins
I live on Holy Ground

*
What do you say
when you confess?
Of righteousness
His Spirit convicts -
You are washed white as snow
No imputation of sin by faith in
the Father’s Son

(Refrain)
(Joyously)
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus
Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit
I thank you Jesus, for the wondrous Cross
Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus
Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit
I praise You, I praise You (repeat stanza till music fades)
