The Lamb


Baby lamb, lamb of God,
Why do you not cry?
Sent to Earth to give us hope,
To live and then to die.

Baby lamb, lamb of God,
Why sacrifice it all?
Your perfect life does not deserve,
The death to which you're called.

Baby lamb, lamb of God,
Why succumb your fate?
Atoning for the sins of man,
And wiping clean our slate.

Baby lamb, lamb of God,
Why not me instead?
I fill my life with sinful things,
Instead of being lead.

Baby lamb, lamb of God,
Thanks for what you've given.
You paid the price at Calvary,
So I can be forgiven.


The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Jonn 1:29

"Why not me instead"

Very good question. I think the answer is that we're not worthy of it.

Amazing Love, how can it be? That you, my king, should die for me.
