Matt.1:21
And she will bring forth a Son,
and you shall call His name JESUS,
for He will save His people from their sins.”
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said,
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
Behold the Lamb of God
Nailed to a cross so mean
Be still, and gaze upon the blood
That washes sinners clean
Ah, can you see Him now
Raised up for all to see
His bleeding side, hands, feet and brow
Behold His agony
Pierced with thorns, nails and sword
Blood-thirsty, the mob screams
Not knowing, as they strike the Lord
Redemption’s fountain streams
Not comprehending love
Nor the power of He
Whose death would conquer death and prove
The truth of prophecy
Behold the sinless Lamb
Paying the sinner’s price
He knew no sin and yet became
Sin’s final sacrifice
Behold Him hanging there
Suff’ring salvation’s fee
Hark! Can you hear His dying prayer
'Forgive them' was His plea
Hatred meets love unflawed
Where holy horrors meld
Hell's showdown with the Son of God
No drop of blood withheld
Where death and Life compete
And death appeared to win
Come, kiss His side, his hands, his feet
And be cleansed from your sin
Come, bow beneath God’s Son
And feel His blood drops flow
Beneath the cross red rivers run
To wash us white as snow
Then repeat, humbly awed
The Name above all names
Jesus, Jesus, the Son of God
Who saves us from our sins
