Worthy Is The Lamb” is what my ears hear.
I asked God one day to make this perfectly clear.
What does this phrase mean?  What does it say to me?
And God showed me how this phrase made me free.

 Worthy, He described as deserving and good.
One is deserving when they do what they should.
Then God explained there’s only One worthy of His love.
That is Jesus Christ, His Son from up above.

God called Christ “The Lamb”, as in a little sheep.
He’s also our Shepherd, watching over us while we sleep.
Like in a slaughterhouse, where the little sheep are slain,
Christ became the sacrifice that allows us to live again.
 
 
 
 Christ came down to earth in the image of mere man,
To tell us of God’s love the best way He can.
He told us over and over, and still some of us couldn’t see
The sacrifice He was about to make for you and for me.

Christ is our example of how each of us should act.
In the New Testament it’s written down as fact.
And yet, some of us still refuse to believe and see.
So for our sinful ways, Christ hung upon the tree.

Even on the cross, Christ showed us how to live.
He showed us how to love each other and how to forgive.
He took our sins upon Him, while alone on the cross He stayed.
God could not look at Him, even when He prayed.

 
 
And with His final breath, He closed His eyes and died.
As blood and water together seeped from the hole in His side.
Jesus died for me, as sinful as I am.
And so I say in earnestness,
“WORTHY IS THE LAMB”.
