Behold the Lamb of God - the hymn

Behold the Lamb of God –
he takes away our sin!
He’s worthy honour, praise –
his Church prevails! We win!
Proclaim our God!
Bring honour only to “I AM”  –
behold the Lamb!

“I AM the Bread of Life,
I AM the world’s True Light!
I AM the Way, the Truth,
victorious in the fight!”
Our risen Lord!
We stand in awe before “I AM” –
behold the Lamb!

He did unseal the scroll –
God’s one salvation plan!
He gives true life to me  –
behold the Son of Man!
King Jesus Christ!
God’s Spirit does reveal “I AM” –
behold the Lamb!

Oh Christian praise the Lord –
who blessed us day by day.
For countless years of mercy:
sing, exult and pray!
Hail Christ the King!
Bring glory, bless and laud “I AM” –
behold the Lamb!

Behold the Lamb of God –
who purchased us with blood.
He pleads before the throne,
he is God’s saving Word!
Now honour Christ!
We worship you, the great “I AM” –
behold the Lamb!


Lyrics:  A.J. Combrink - 2009; Music:  John Darwall – 1770.
