[Verse 1]
Behold the Lamb on Calvary's road,
From Pilate's hall, He meekly trod;
The crowds beheld His heavy load,
The Son of Man, the Lamb of God.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Verse 2]
They looked for one with earthly might,
To break the Roman iron chain;
But God had planned a greater fight,
To conquer sin, death, and pain.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Verse 3]
At Calvary, He was faint and weak,
With hunger, thirst, and wounds oppressed;
They stripped His robe, His flesh did pierce,
And nailed Him there without a rest.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Verse 4]
Then darkness covered all the land,
A fearful cloud o'erspread the sky;
The Holy One, by wicked hands,
Spoke His last word and bowed to die.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Verse 5]
His work was finished, full, complete,
The Father's mission now was sealed;
He rose in Spirit from death's defeat,
And all the realms His Name revealed.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Verse 6]
Amend thy path while time remains,
Forsake the sin that wounds thy soul;
The Lamb endured the cross and pains,
That thou through Him may yet be whole.
[Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Let every heart, including mine,
Return in holiness to Thee.
[Final Chorus]
O precious Lamb, O Christ divine,
Who bore our shame upon the tree;
Cleanse every heart, including mine,
And draw us back, O Lord, to Thee.
