Lamb of God

Laying down His life once for all,
A perfect sacrifice to erase our sin,
Majestic King of heaven crucified,
Bearing our guilt and shame within.

Offering of love freely given,
Friend of sinners for all time.

Grace and mercy flow from nail-pierced hands and feet,
Overcoming death Your gift sublime.
Darkness has been defeated by Your perfect light.

A beautiful hymn of praise Kim. It is so much like a Psalm - a hymn of praise. Indeed we are forever blessed by Jesus' "love freely given." Congratulations on your win. Sending you blessings.
