Christ's Sacrifice Once For All

Jesus Christ came into this world
a world thinking sacrificial giving was enough
for God to accept their daily offering
but the almighty's holiness rejects their stuff

For Jesus declared when on the earth
sacrifice and offering God did not desire
instead the preparation of a body
that was filled with divine holy fire

In this body God placed His own son
only begotten full of grace and truth
taking on the sin of this world
all our iniquities from our youth

In this Christ we see the father
the one who authored our redemption
paid by Christ's holy perfect sacrifice
for Jesus was our merciful substitution

This sacrifice accomplished once for all
what all the law demands could never do
God then could declare sinners righteous
for His holiness was satisfied perfected anew
