Jesus Much Greater


The heavens are the work of your hands.
You showed us God's glory when you became man.
Your throne is eternal. You are the king.
By your powerful word you sustain everything.

Jesus much greater than any angel.
Once slain for sinners. High priest forever.
Outside the city there crucified.
We must go to him, bear the reproach, cast off our pride, and give him our lives.

Our deepest longing is for your glory.
Give eyes of faith to see your city.
God let us not turn back in vain.
We want to know you're not ashamed.

Jesus much greater than any angel.
Once slain for sinners. High priest forever.
Outside the city there crucified.
We must go to him, bear the reproach, cast off our pride, and give him our lives.

Our hope in you will last forever.
Christ bled and died gave us a treasure.
To enter in that sacred place.
To see your glory and know your grace.

Jesus much greater than any angel.
Once slain for sinners. High priest forever.
Outside the city there crucified.
We must go to him, bear the reproach, cast off our pride, and give him our lives.

Jon, I love this. I was waiting for you to throw Melchizedek in there somewhere, but that's hard to rhyme with.

Can you annotate the poem to show where in Heb all the lines came from?

Do you have music yet?
