John
1:29
The next day John seeth
Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world.
One
of my favorite songs is “Lamb of Glory”, but every time I heard that song, it
seemed incomplete. There was so much
more to the story, so I wrote 3 more verses.
If you are not familiar with that song, I encourage you to watch this youtube video of Steve Green’s beautiful rendition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1IZctxGmFA
The
song talks about Jesus’ sacrifice for us, but leaves it with Him still on the
cross. But that is not the end of the
story. If He didn’t conquer death and
rise from the grave, our faith is vain and we are yet in our sins (I Cor.
15:17). But because He rose from the
dead a victor over sin and death, we can spend eternity worshiping the Lamb of
Glory.
May
you have a Blessed Resurrection Sunday!
Lamb
of Glory
1.Hear
the story from God’s Word
That
kings and priests and prophets heard:
There
would be a sacrifice,
And
blood would flow to pay sin’s price.
2.On
the cross God loved the world
While
all the pow’rs of hell were hurled;
No
one there could understand
The
One they saw was Christ the Lamb.
3.On
the cross God paid the price;
His
only Son the sacrifice.
Suff’ring,
dying for the lost,
With
His own blood cov’ring the cost.
4.In
the tomb they placed our Lord,
According
to God’s Holy Word.
Conq’ring
sin and death for us,
And
then He rose victorious.
5.When
He comes, our glorious King,
His
Holy bride to Heaven bring.
Falling
down on bended knee,
We’ll
worship Him eternally!
Chorus:
Precious
Lamb of Glory,
Love’s
most wondrous story,
Heart
of God’s redemption of man –
Worship
the Lamb of Glory.
