[Intro] King of righteousness, King of peace, priest of the Most High, Melchisedec meets Abraham on the road. [Verse 1] The patriarch gives a tenth; the lesser receives the blessing. Levi is still hidden in Abraham, and the older order shows its limit. [Refrain] Another priest arises, not by the law of fleshly descent, but by the power of an endless life. [Verse 2] From Judah comes the One whom altar rules had never named. With changed priesthood comes a change; a better hope draws us near to God. [Bridge] Many priests were halted by death; this Priest continues forever. The oath makes him surety, his priesthood cannot pass away. [Chorus] He saves to the uttermost all who come to God through him; holy, harmless, undefiled, ever living to make intercession. [Outro] Once he offered himself. Consecrated forevermore.
