Lyrics
Intro What offices does Christ execute as our redeemer? (alright) Answer: Christ as our redeemer executes the offices of prophet, of a priest and of a king, both in his estate of humiliation and exaltation Timothy Brindle A prophet is a covenant lawyer He pleads with the people, "Repent before God comes to destroy ya" But he also pleads with our covenant God To recall His promise and not punish His flock We see this in Jesus who's greater than Moses The will of God for our salvation He shows us He involves God's cosmic story He came to explain the name; the Father's glory Cos as the Word He is Yahweh's message But He does more than declare the Father's blessing The God in flesh is the embodiment Of His covenant love: awesome hessed Old Testament prophets were often screaming: "Thus says the Lord", the Law they're teaching But when Christ the Prophet's preaching No thus says the Lord cos God is speaking The Prophet bring God's truth to His people Men are ignorant, in pursuit of their evil The priest sheds the blood of the sacrifice Men are guilty, hopeless in the after life When the king rules justly, peace abounds But men won't submit cos they seek his crown All need a prophet, a priest and king Cos we're ignorant, guilty and deceitful beings
