Текст песни
He came out of nowhere
Without family ties
The first mediator
Of God the Most High
Setting the precedent
As the lone archetype
Greater than Abraham
Larger than life
He set the table with
The bread and the wine
But the name Melchizedek
Was the preeminent sign
Even king David said
There was one next in line
And everything points ahead
To Jesus Christ
He's priest forever in order of Melchizedek
He reigns with righteousness from His throne in Jerusalem
The greatest has come to the least of us
He has sworn and will not change His mind
He's a priest forever in order of Melchizedek
Now every priest who came
From the house of Levi
Made atonement day after day
That could never suffice
But Jesus completely saves
Through one sacrifice
All who approach by faith
For all of time
He's priest forever in order of Melchizedek
He reigns with righteousness from His throne in Jerusalem
The greatest has come to the least of us
He has sworn and will not change His mind
He's a priest forever in order of Melchizedek
This ancient king
Shrouded in mystery
Pronounced the blessing extending
Forward through time
To the Great High Priest
Who is our King of Peace
Our sin's sure defeat
With His head lifted high
He's priest forever in the order of Melchizedek
He reigns with righteousness from His throne in Jerusalem
The greatest has come to the least of us
He has sworn and will not change His mind
He's a priest forever in order of Melchizedek
