He Was Heard Lyrics - Card Michael

Michael Card 

Hebrews 4:14 - 5:10 & 7:11-28 

In the days of old the priest would come 

With a lifeless sacrifice 

While the crowd in anxious silence 

Would wait outside 

As he entered in his temple 

They hoped he would be heard 

God would give them a tomorrow 

And the priest would stay alive 

Their only choice, their only hope 

Would he be heard 

Their only way they might be saved 

Would he be heard 

In the fullness of the promise time 

The Final Priest did come 

And He offered up a living sacrifice 

Now we His children wait for Him 

With hope and joyful praise 

For we know that God has heard Him 

For we know that He was raised 

He offered cheerful praise and He was heard 

He offered up His life and He was heard 

Chorus 

So let us fix our eyes upon 

The priest whom God did hear 

For the joy that was before Him 

He overcame the fear 

Oh, once and all He paid the cost 

Enduring all the shame 

Taking up the cruel cross 

Ignoring all the pain 

Repeat Chorus
