Behold the Lamb
Behold The Lamb
“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Jn 1:29 NIV
Behold the Lamb of God
Which takes away all sin
So that a world full of souls
Has a chance not to die but win
From the manger to Calvary
He followed a path of self-denial
To minister to many unfortunates
Before His death and trial
Behold the Lamb of God
A ransom for us all
Self put to one side
That we might rise and not fall
He ministered to the needy
Sin-wracked soul
Miracle healings prevailed
Lives restored, made fully whole
Behold the Lamb of God
God’s plan for redemption
Focused around His son
And His incredible incarnation
We are asked to minister to others
Follow Christ’s example
Put self aside
A spirit-filled sample
May the world see Christ
Living through us
As we take up the work of angels
A responsibility so wondrous
Behold the Lamb of God
His mercy and grace
Until we finally see Him
Face to face.
