Now Behold The Lamb Lyrics
Kirk Franklin And The Family
Lyrics
Now behold the lamb
The precious lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
The precious lamb of God
Now behold the lamb
The precious lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
The precious Lamb of God
Holy is the Lamb
The precious Lamb of God
Why you loved me so Lord I shall never know
The precious Lamb of God
Holy is the Lamb
The precious Lamb of God
Why you loved me so Lord I shall never know
The precious Lamb of God
Now behold the Lamb
The precious Lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
He's the precious Lamb of God
When I always didn't do right
I went left
He told me to go right
But I'm standin' right here in the midst of my tears
Lord I claim you to be the lamb of God
Thank you for the Lamb
The precious Lamb of God
Because of your grace I can finish this race
The precious Lamb of God
Even when I broke, broke your heart
My sins tore us apart
But Im standin' right here in the midst of my tears
I claim you to be the lamb of God
New life can begin, yeah
For you washed away, washed away everyone of my sins
Whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed
I claim you to be the lamb of God
Now behold the Lamb
The precious Lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
The precious lamb of God
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Why you loved me so lord I shall never know
Why you loved me so lord I shall never know
Why you loved me so lord I shall never know
The precious Lamb of God
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Why you loved me so Lord I shall never know
The precious Lamb of God
Why you loved me so Lord I shall never know
The precious Lamb of God
