For the day-the kingly Lamb who has redeemed us

I looked for a patriotic song for the day. But at Beanscot’s YouTube site I found the song that fits my mood and probably many of you feel the same way. The culture of our country may shift and turn in adverse or promising directions. A victory here, a loss there, but as the Scripture states, “Jesus Christ, is the same, yesterday, today and forever.” And in that sameness, he is ever the redeeming lamb, always by our side, always his presence is with us:

 

"OUR ONLY SON, NO SIN TO HIDE
BUT YOU HAVE SENT HIM
FROM YOUR SIDE
TO WALK UPON THIS GUILTY SOD
AND TO BECOME THE LAMB OF GOD

YOUR GIFT OF LOVE THEY CRUCIFIED
THEY LAUGHED AND SCORNED HIM
AS HE DIED
THE HUMBLE KING THEY NAMED A FRAUD
AND SACRIFICED THE LAMB OF GOD

O LAMB OF GOD SWEET LAMB OF GOD
I LOVE THE HOLY LAMB OF GOD
O WASH ME IN YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD
MY JESUS CHRIST THE LAMB OF GOD

I WAS SO LOST I SHOULD HAVE DIED
BUT YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME TO
YOUR SIDE
TO BE LEAD BY YOUR STAFF AND ROD
AND TO BE CALLED A LAMB OF GOD

O LAMB OF GOD SWEET LAMB OF GOD
I LOVE THE HOLY LAMB OF GOD
O WASH ME IN YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD
TILL I AM JUST A LAMB OF GOD"

by Eden's Bridge from their "Celtic Worship" album.

Thanks to Beanscot for posting the words.
