YouTube video: The Great Sacrifice, hymn

Text:
The Great Sacrifice (based on Alma 34 in the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ)

The Law of Moses long foretold,
The coming of a Messiah Lord,
The Son of God who would pay the price
Through His redeeming sacrifice.
Through this gift, infinite and great,
We come to Him with love and faith.
On the cross He justice paid,
And fulfilled all cov’nants made. 

No sacrifice of beast or fowl,
No human offering can or shall,
Bring redemption’s healing grace,
Or lead us to the Savior’s face.
Only Jesus Christ the Lord,
Only in the power of His word,
Can He in mercy offer all,
The ransom needed for the Fall.

What little sacrifice is mine
That I may connect with God divine?
A humble spirit, a broken heart,
Are what He asks to be my part.
One cup of water, one piece of bread,
Remembering Jesus, whose blood was shed,
In the Garden so long ago,
Overcoming all death, and woe. 

Coda
Thanks to our merciful Eternal God
For His sacrifice, infinite and great.
