Leviticus 16:2. “And the Lord said unto Moses, “Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the Holy Place within the vail before the Mercy Seat, which is upon the Ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the Mercy Seat.” INTO THE HOLY PLACE. Fear is still upon the people; well it should be, and there it should stay; For those who serve before the Lord, must learn what’s right and learn to heed. So now the lessons learned before, have taught us all God has a way; For us to come into His place of holiness; the right of acceptance there to plead.
It is not our right, but because of the life of a Lamb that before was given; The evidence is in the blood - that we can now move inside the veil. The priest of old with blood that showed, the sinless substitute was taken; Is a picture of a fact to fill my soul with joy – the Lamb’s blood works still.
With steps of fearful trust, a paradox it is true, but a Holy God, untrue sons had taken; Now the father-priest moves slowly with a blood-filled bowl in hand. And reaching hand, careful now to do it right, sprinkles blood with fingers shaking; Makes sure the blood is there where God has said, seven times in places carefully planned.
Today it is so different, not with fear and trembling, but with holy boldness I am able to move into a place Most Holy, and there before the holy throne of God; Is evidence placed by the hand of Him who paid redemption’s price in fullness; With heart that’s bowed, and head bowed too, and hands full because of the Savior’s blood.
My voice and heart and soul and spirit, all rejoicing in the presence of God Most Holy, I come accepted in the Person of Him who pleased the Father and the legal claims fulfilled. With cleans`ed heart and hands and words inside to join with others here to fully Proclaim to God, the virtues of His Son – the only One could justice’s voice now stilled.
It’s in this place, but not with symbol-types from far and distant pasture, but in reality; I’m moved to place with careful hands, a Sacrifice that for me has been offered. I place with reverence and careful moves of thought and word before awesome Deity, Expressions of divine initiation that come from Spirit Holy – to the Almighty proffered.
When comes the time to turn and leave through veil that has rent asunder from top to bottom; My soul: warmed by heavenly fire and lit with Shekinah light to glow from deep within; Is full with praise and adoration, songs of Zion and prayers of thanks go unto Him. My steps are light with acceptance; each one with confidence follows the other – to serve again.
“What a fellowship, O God of glory; to worship inside the veil and not shake with fear, but to enjoy complete acceptance. My adoption is so precious – and yet – at times it seems more gold-like than at others. The supper, the emblems, the hymns, the prayers, the praise and the worship make such an impact on this soul of mine. I hear the simple words of truth learned new by new converts – and I worship Thee. I hear the ancients, and all in between put into words and sweet hymns of adoration, thoughts of the Lord Jesus Christ – and I worship Thee. I watch the faces of women and men who love the Lord supremely and I do not wonder – but rejoice – in what the grace of God has done – and I worship Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
