The illusion of their words – v2

their sacrifice without power
the illusion of their words,
priests in the temple
endlessly sacrificing to God

none worthy before Him
each a flawed mortal,
their sacrifice insufficient
repeated in each season

the illusion of their words
no power in their action;
their sacrifice incomplete
under the law of Moses

only Christ as the high priest
and himself the sacrifice
able to fulfill the law
to free us from our chains
