Behold, the Lamb of God (Palm Sunday)

Verse 1

They crushed the crown of thorns upon his head
and lifted high the cross for all to see.
A mangled Savior, naked, left for dead:
“Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!”

Verse 2

What strength he had to never say a word,
to stoop and stagger up to Calvary.
What strength to yet forgive the mocking crowd:
“Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!”

Verse 3

The nails that pierced his hands have pierced my heart.
The cruelest cost for sin was paid for me.
Lest you, my soul, forget the Father's love:
Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!
