Joining Heaven's Roll Call

The burnt offerings God told Israel to make
Private freewill offerings were they
Any unblemished male of the herd they should take
Like Jesus on the cross that awful Friday

The grain offering was of the finest flour
Like any offering to God is our best
Salt of the covenant reminds us that our
Hope is in Jesus; in the cross we are blessed

The peace offering as a fellowship feast
Reminds us of Jesus the bread and the wine
He sacrificed himself; He is our High Priest
The last offering; the sacrifice divine

The sin and the guilt offerings are to teach
That Jesus died for known and unknown sins too
Forgiveness of sins is what Jesus did preach
He died for the Gentile as well as the Jew

God took no real pleasure in the sacrifice
And He offered up Jesus once and for all
Who willingly died for our sins paid the price
So we offer ourselves, join heaven's roll call
