Once and For All

An endless stream of pilgrims

made their way into Jerusalem

To offer up the goat the lamb and dove

Atonement for the sin was slain

but only for a season

Their empty hearts still cry out

for a lasting peace and love

Then from Bethlehem He came,

Emmanuel was His name

He knew the world would

need a sacrifice

And a million lambs

could never pay the price

Once and for all He walked

the road to Calvary

Carrying the sins of every man

upon his shoulders

Once and for all He conquered

death victoriously

Tearing down the separating wall

And the price was paid in full

once and for all

An endless stream of mercy falls

like rain from heaven's holy ground

To everyone who calls upon His name

Though we are, we're sinners,

He love thee all our weaknesses

And though we were unworthy

He came to suffer in our place

And as His blood fell to the ground,

our hope again was found

No longer are we guilty and oppressed

For He has grown our sins, as far as east is to the west
