He Was Heard

Intro: 
Em    C 


 
        Em 
In the days of old the priest would come 
        C 
With a lifeless sacrifice 
           D                                      C    D 
While the crowd in anxious silence would wait outside 
       Em 
As he entered in the temple 
           C 
They only hoped he would be heard 
           D 
God would give them a tomorrow 
         C              D     Em 
And the priest would stay alive  



 
       C                  D 
Their only chance, their only hope 
      Bm     Em     D 
Would he be heard? 
     C              D 
The only way they might be saved 
      Bm     C         D 
Would he be heard? 

 
        Em 
In the fullness of the promised time 
     C 
The final Priest did come 
        D                        C    D 
And He offered up a living sacrifice 
        Em 
And now we, His children, wait for Him 
      C 
With hope and joyful praise 
        D 
For we know that God has heard Him 
        C         D          Em 
For we know that He was raised  



 
     C               D 
He offered tearful prayers 
           Bm  Em   D 
And He was heard 
    C               D 
He offered up His life 
           Bm  C     F  G 
And He was heard

The priest whom God did hear

For the joy that was before Him 
    G 
He overcame the fear 
     C                Dm 
For once and all He paid the cost 
   G                  Am  G 
Enduring all the shame 
Dm             C/E 
Taking up the cruel cross

Ignoring all the pain
