Lyrics

Told on High
Parody of "Hold on Tight" performed by Electric Light Orchestra and written by Jeff Lynne
(Hebrews 2:17, 3:1, 4:14-15, 5:1-10, 7:23-8:4; Romans 3:10-26; Matthew 19:17; Mark 10:18; 1 Timothy 2:5)

Mmmmm ... Told on high to your Priest
It's told on high to your Priest
When it seems as if you're failin'
Every prayer your heart is prayin' is
Told on high to your Priest

Hmmmm ... Say you're tryin' to obey God (Hold on, hold on) Ohhhh!
Righteous, though, no, you're not (Hold on, hold on)
When in Hebrews, go to verse 5:1 (Ooooh oooh ... wah wah)
One through 10 shows it's not jive, hon, it's all (Ooooh oooh ... wah wah)
Told on high to your Priest

When you get slowed down, man, you can’t let up
If you want some help, you should call out above
When you fall down hard again, it’s understood
Yes, our Lord has told us that no one is good
Ohhh-ohh!

Of course, you try — that don't avail
Of course, you try — that don't avail
Don't you worry so much about it
God’s own Son’s come — there's our Priest, babe
The cross of Christ — that's what prevails

When you get slowed down, man, you can’t let up
If you want some help, you should call out above
When you fall down hard again, it’s understood
Yes, Romans 3 shows us that no one is good
Yeahhhh yeah

Go on high to your Priest
Yeahhhh! Go on high to your Priest, yeah-eh
When it seems you're shattered, fallen
Man, He hears ya — go and call Him
Go on high to your Priest
Ooooh yeah!
Go on high to your Priest
Yeaaah, yeah-eh! Go on high
To your priest

Hebrews 5:8-10
Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
