Behold the Lamb is a beautifully arranged song which speaks to the heart of what we believe about the real presence of Jesus celebrated in the Eucharist. It is a very popular communion song.
LYRICS
Behold the Lamb of God,
Behold, the body of my Lord
Behold, the greatest sacrifice made for all time
We come to be made new, to eat from the table of the Lord
Only by grace is our worthiness restored and we behold!Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb,
Behold the Lamb of God (repeat all)Father, let your glory shine in this Eucharist,
For us a sign of heaven’s mercy,
Poured out in Jesus your Son.
Jesus, Saviour of the world
By your dying you destroyed our death
By rising you have restored us to life and
We beholdJesus, body of my Lord,
Jesus, Saviour of the world.
Jesus, blood for us outpoured,
Jesus, Saviour of the world.
