The Passover Lamb of God

 As another Passover is celebrated 
The foreshadowing of what was to come 
Celebrating a future fulfillment of the promise 
A promise made from the foundation of the world 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
His broken body would be pierced for our transgressions 
He would be crushed for our iniquities 
By His scourging we would be healed 
He would be poured out even to death for our sin 
His blood would be shed to overcome death’s sting 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
And yet, He was despised and forsaken of men 
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief 
And like one from whom men hide their face 
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
The Righteous One who came to serve 
His sacrifice made, the price paid that many might be set free 
Redemption accomplished through an act of His loving-kindness 
Grace and mercy interceding for our transgressions 
The Passover Lamb of God 
 
Salvation is among us, liberty and life anew 
Rejoice for He has risen, Rejoice for He is alive 
Our Passover Lamb of God 
Our Redeemer, Our Savior, Our Lord 
Jesus
