The Significance of ‘Behold the Lamb’ in Scripture

Behold the Lamb – Based on John 1:29-34

Cain, the jealous sower,
Spills first the blood of man,
Abel, the innocent shepherd,
A cry, Behold the lamb.

Abram withholds nothing,
an angel stays his hand,
God will provide the sacrifice,
A cry, Behold the lamb.

Pharaoh’s heart is hardened,
Mercy ends in the land,
The angel passes over,
A cry, Behold the lamb.

John by waters edge,
Many baptized by his hand,
A dove descends upon the Christ,
A cry, Behold the Lamb.

The Heavens all cry out,
Here is the Son of Man,
Holy, Holy, Holy,
A cry, Behold the Lamb.

Another Christ at altar,
Host and chalice in his hand,
With trembling voice and body,
A cry, Behold the Lamb.
