Changing History

Christ’s act a moment
singular in life
changing history
a dividing line
before this moment
his sacrifice
the priests repeating
shedding blood
offering the animals
yet bound by death

Christ changed history
life forevermore
no more dying
sacrificing blood
the curtain changed
now through his body
a priest forever
yet his work completed
freeing us from sacrifice
forever, for all time
