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.

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.

THE CROSS APPEARED!

While meditating on the Cross

I could not help but bow in awe

That God Who flung the world in space

Would offer man redeeming grace.

The Cross where death and hell were crushed

Amidst the cries of terrible pain

With nails that pierced His hands and feet

Brought peace above the Mercy Seat.

The Father sent His only Son

The perfect sinless Lamb of God

Fulfilling every promise made

So man's redemption could be paid.

Atonement made through blood of rams

Could only cover what was past

Christ's blood removes the curse of sin

When we invite Him to come in.

Then in Communion He declares

His flesh the Bread, His blood the Wine

So in remembrance we can show

A cleansed-filled life down here below.
