A song with lyrics worthy of thoughtful contemplation on the Lamb of God which takes away our sins. Let the theme of this song so embrace you that you are touched with the live coal from the altar of that Perfect Sacrifice!
Behold the Lamb’s humility
With mockers at His feet
With bruise and spittle on His face
His suffering near complete
Behold His quiet dignity
As men did laugh and scorn
As blood filled eyes the shame despised
Beneath the crown of thorn (2x)
Behold the Lamb’s meekness displayed
In silence at the rod
As blow by blow each stroke did know
Was all the will of God
Behold what majesty withstood
Such cruelty from men
The silent intercessor groaned
To pardon them from sin (2x)
Behold the Lamb silent and still
While men His skin did flay
Laid down His life through yielded-ness
God’s glory to display
Behold Him stand before the crowd
Rejected by His own
Once hailed as King by multitudes
Now loved by God alone (2x)
Behold the Lamb, O more than see!
This nature I must know
To see alone a curse would be
If only for a show
With tear filled eyes myself despise
And all for Thee would give
To share Your nature, taste Your power
And in Your grace to live (2x)
“It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross.” The Desire of Ages, pg. 83
