The Lamb Of God

He was born in Bethlehem

In a manger He was found

By shepherds on that day

O Mary did you understand

That your baby boy was born to be

The Lamb that God would slay

Perhaps you never knew

What your Son would

Have to go through

If you had known

Could you have borne the pain

He grew up in Nazareth

With every step He took

He became a man

And a carpenter like Joseph

Such a humble Man indeed

The one His Father chose

To save the world

Mary did you realize

The price that He would pay

When you followed Him

To Calvary, on crucifixion day

Did you know the Lamb of God

Would give His life to set you free

And be lifted up

For all the world to see

He was found in Galilee

Where He healed the lame

And raised the dead

And set the captives free

And He was known by many

To proclaim the Word of God

When He told them

Of His mercy and His love

He was scourged and ridiculed

Rejected and abandoned

By those He came to save

And for the sake of heaven

The Lamb was crucified

To make atonement

For our sins He died

Jesus, did they realize

The price that You would pay

When they followed You

To Calvary on crucifixion day

Did they know the Lamb of God

Would give His life to set them free

And be lifted up for all the world to see

He was wounded for my sins

By nails that pierced His hands and feet

And thorns that pierced His brow

And when His life was over

A soldier pierced His side

And out came blood and water

Flowing like a crimson tide

He was buried in a tomb

The one prepared by Joseph to be his own

And on resurrection morning

The grave would be denied

When He rose again

And rolled away the stone

Jesus, did they realize

The price that You would pay

When they followed You

To Calvary on crucifixion day

Did they know the Lamb of God

Would shed His blood to set them free

And be lifted up for all the world to see

He was born in Bethlehem

In a manger He was found

By shepherds on that day

O Mary did you understand

That your baby boy was born to be

The Lamb that God would slay

On Calvary
