(4:15; 5:2) As Sympathizer with our weaknesses,
He was tempted in every way;
As Overcomer of all that's evil,
He's gentle with those gone astray.
(7:24-25) As Conqueror of death and destruction,
He lives as a permanent Priest;
To save sinners completely He's able,
Intercessor for all the least.
(7:26) As Meeter of all our deep-seated needs,
His credentials are unequaled;
This One who is holy, pure and blameless,
Above the heavens is exalted.
(7:27) The Presenter was He of His body—
Once-for-all as sin's atonement.
Of all Aaron's descendents He's Greater;
His blood was without defilement.
(10:12, 14) Royally seated at the Father's right hand,
As Author of our salvation;
Perfecter of all being made holy,
He is without comparison.
(10:19-22) Since we have such a Priest as Christ the Lord,
To God by Him let us come near—
With faith made strong and a conscience cleansed,
Bodies washed and a heart sincere.
