Lord Jesus, You're More Excellent lyrics

Lord Jesus, you're more excellent Than moses' ancient covenant Its law you perfectly obeyed And on the cross its curse you paid My royal priest is excellent Above the dying priests who went In yearly terror through the veil But once for all Christ did prevail But once for all Christ did prevail Lord Jesus, you're more excellent Than all the guardian angels sent To guide our steps both day and night Since Jesus guards with sovereign might Great saviour, you're more excellent Than all the devil's arrows spent In furious rage against the ones For whom Christ died to make his sons For whom Christ died to make his sons Kind Jesus, you're more excellent Than doubts and troubles I invent Your life laid down, my victory won My advocate, God's holy son O Christ, you are most excellent By new and better covenant Redeeming love who took my part Inscribe your law upon my heart Inscribe your law upon my heart O righteous one, most excellent Your cross fulfilled the covenant O worthy one, who took my place I long to worship face to face I long to worship face to face
