I will be introducing the song “Behold the Lamb” by Sovereign Grace to my church on Easter Morning during our Resurrection Celebration. I just learned it a few days ago and already it has had a great impact on my life. The song directs our attention to the crucifixion and the pain that Christ endured for us, but praise God “the cross stands empty now, and He is risen!” You can find it in the Sovereign Grace online Music Store or listen to it on Grooveshark. Look for it under the album “King of Grace. I hope you find it a blessing.

Behold the Lamb
Behold the Lamb
Silent before His accusers
As thorns are pressed into His brow
They lift Him up
Oh see the spikes that hold Him
Redeeming blood flows down
But look again
The cross stands empty now
And He is risen

Behold the Lamb
See Him crowned with glory
Behold the Lamb
Cast your crowns before Him
Crying Holy Holy is the Lamb

Behold the Lamb
Carrying all our transgressions
He freely takes our place
Endures the lash
The mocking and the laughter
Of those He dies to save
But look again
The cross stands empty now
And He is risen

Behold the Lamb
See Him crowned with glory
Behold the Lamb
Cast your crowns before Him
Crying Holy Holy is the Lamb
