Petra's song 'Enter In' reflects on the tearing of the temple veil at Christ's death, opening direct access to God's presence. It contrasts the old system of yearly sacrifices with the new and living way through Jesus, emphasizing that believers can approach God's throne with boldness and confidence. The lyrics recall the crucifixion and its immediate effects, then encourage listeners to enter into the Holy Place through faith, prayer, and thanksgiving. The song draws from Hebrews 10:19-20 and celebrates the grace and mercy made available through Christ's once-for-all sacrifice.

[Based on Hebrews 10:19,20]
Once a year for sacrifice just one priest could pay the price
And step inside the inner veil to make the people free
Temple stood the same for years till the Nazarene appears
Things will never be the same since 33 A.D.
When He spoke and bowed His head
He who saved the world was dead
Then the earth began to shake
Heaven's wall began to break
Opening the Holy Place
The temple veil is torn in two
The way is clear for me and you
(We) can enter in, enter in
Into Heaven's Holy place
We can enter in, enter in
Boldly by His blood we can approach His throne of grace
We can enter in a new and living Way
By our faith He will receive us when we pray
Enter in
Now without a second look we forget what all it took
To be seen as innocent by His Holy eyes
Never thinking foolishly there is something He won't see
For our lack of righteousness there is no disguise
He won't look the other Way
Someone's life will have to pay
Once for all it has been done
Taken out upon His Son
He remembers it no more
Now for us He is the Door
Opened up forevermore
We can enter in, enter in
Into Heaven's Holy place
We can enter in, enter in
We can enter in His gates with thankfulness and praise
We can enter in, enter in
Into the once forbidden Holy place
We can enter in, enter in
We can live in goodness and in mercy all our days
We can enter in a new and living Way
By our faith He will receive us when we pray
We don't have to be afraid to seek His face
We can enter in
