“Behold the Lamb!”
The words of John,
As he sees a dove descend
“Look at Him
Who takes away sin,
He is the One you seek
Of Him I am unworthy
To loosen His sandal.
He is the promised Messiah.”
Offerings He makes
No sin He partakes
He is the Holy One
Death awaits
This is the fate
He will bear our sins
Christ the Savior
The unique God-Man
He must taste of death
Redemption’s cost
To save the lost
A price that must be paid
On the tree
His hands and feet
Are nailed to hold Him there
Sacrificed for sin
The spotless Lamb
Now bares scars on Him
Salvation secured
“It is finished!”
He breathes His last
Gone His spirit
His body remains
It is laid to rest
Rich man’s tomb
A stone is rolled.
Is this how it ends?
And those who followed
Now filled with grief
For the leader they have lost
Victory is taken
Their hearts are breakin’.
How could this have happened?
Emmanuel! God with us?
But where is He now?
Has He abandoned His people?
Secured by those in power,
Guards placed outside the tomb,
The body cannot be moved.
“Three days later,”
His enemies remember,
“He said He’d rise again.”
Ointment and spices
Have been prepared
By those who were His friends
No one expects
Most don’t understand
The words they’d heard Him speak
Entombed the Messiah
Who gave up His life
Death has seized the day
Righteous for the unrighteous
Innocent for the guilty
The price of holiness’ demand
Israel’s Messiah
Resurrection and Life
He lies inside the grave
Sunday morning
Without warning
The ground begins to shake!
Empty the tomb
Christ has overcome
Death’s score is minus one
No more shall death
Hold Him bound
He arose victoriously
Behold, BLOOD shed
Behold, CROSS crucified
Behold, GRAVE buried
Behold, STONE secured
Behold, RISEN Savior
