Behold the Lamb

[Verse 1]
By morning light a battered Man is laid upon a tree.
The hammer falls, the nails cry out that pierce the hands and feet.
He prays, "Forgive them, Father, for they do not understand."
They come to crucify a man, but sacrifice a Lamb.

[Refrain]
Behold the Lamb!  Behold the sacrifice,
the One who gives His life to set you free.
Behold the Lamb!  The sacrifice is made,
the ransom has been paid, behold the Lamb!

[Verse 2]
He dies alone upon the cross; the Father turns away.
The sky becomes as black as night, the earth begins to quake.
And certain ones who witness it begin to understand.
They came to crucify a man, but sacrificed a Lamb.

[Refrain]

[Interlude]
There was no other sacrifice, no other to atone.
None other than the pure and spotless Lamb of God alone!

[Refrain]

[Coda]
Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb!
