the Lamb of God

Behold the Lion

the mighty Warrior

the God of our Salvation

King of righteousness

King of holiness

King of Grace

Behold the mighty Lion

of the tribe of Judah

the King of the Jews

behold behold

I look to see

this Lion of my God

yet before me stands

the Lamb of God

taking away the sin of the world

the Lamb of God

as thought it had been slain

and I fall to my knees and pray

glory glory to God on high

oh how I love Him

that gave His life

oh how I praise Him

oh how I know

that my God is holy

He loves me so

I give Him glory

the Giver of life

my life is not my own

it has been bought with a price

I start to look up

upon His face

He is so holy

I can only faint

my beauty is corruption

I'll die this day

I'm laying at His feet 

a castaway

then Jesus puts His hand upon me

I open my eyes

I see the scars where nails pierced my Saviour divine

He smiles upon me

with love and care

He says don't fear

my grace is sufficient

for all your race

my love is holy

join in my embrace

suddenly it dawns on me

my sins are washed away

I know that I have been renewed 

to live for His sovereign praise

I give my life to Jesus

the author of my life

I give my heart to Jesus

He takes away my night

the author and the finisher

and now my life is not my own

for I am bought with a price
