BEHOLD THE LAMB!

Before the worlds were flung in space

A Master plan was put in place

Omniscience saw the fall of man

God would provide a Spotless Lamb!

When sin had marred earth's paradise

And skins were used to cover shame

Its blood, a symbol of the price

One day The Lamb would sacrifice.

Before Egyptian slaves were freed

Each Israelite would kill a lamb

The door posts where the blood was spread

Meant no one in that home was dead.

The Law and offerings that were made

Spoke of the promise that one day

A perfect Lamb would shed His blood

The sacrifice of Grace and Love

When John stood by the Jordan shore

And saw the Lord come into view

Aware He was the Son of Man

He cried aloud: “Behold the Lamb!”

Upon the Cross the Lamb of God

Poured out His blood, redemption's price

So every one who comes by faith

Can have the gift of saving grace.

When Christ returns to earth again

The Lamb will rule as Sovereign King

In faithfulness and truth He'll reign

And all the world will praise His name.

B. Pent
