Planned Obsolescence

 

 

Planned obsolescence!

Read it in the Word,

Rebuilding any Jewish temple

Is absolutely absurd.

 

Never to be permanent!

The Jewish temple I mean,

Just a shadow of things to come;

Such things as now seen.

 

Planned obsolescence!

Meaning to be done away with,

Why would we need a temple

When Jesus is God’s gift?

 

The Law was a school master

To point us to the Christ,

On Calvary our eyes beheld him

And his vicarious sacrifice.

 

No other was good enough

To pay the awful price of sin,

Only Jesus Christ, our Redeemer,

Could do it and let us in.

 

The Law with its sacrifices

Is relevant no more,

The fact it is now obsolescence

Means an ineffectual door.

 

Any that would enter therein

Cannot now be saved,

Jesus, God’s only begotten Son,

The way he has paved.

 

Yes, a planned obsolescence

Regarding the temple Law,

It was not meant to be permanent

And its sacrifice was flawed.

 

 

When he that is perfect is come,

In part shall be done away,

Thank God for such saving grace

I have lived to see this day.

 

Planned obsolescence!

Read it in God’s Word,

Rebuilding any Jewish temple

Is absolutely absurd.
