One final sacrifice

the one singular priest
pure, no need for sacrifice
entering the holy of holies
where few may enter in

going the way of Aaron
entering into the center
a sacrifice like no other
the lamb giving himself

prayers to the father
God choosing to die
climbing the altar of the cross
that we no more may die

one final sacrifice
once and for all time
one pure offering of love,
complete, sublime
