Worthy the Lamb

What a day that first Easter morning must have been when the plan of salvation was completed in our risen Lord!! The price for sin was paid in full, redemption's plan was accomplished, and Jesus triumphed over death! This morning my heart rejoices in the new life I've experienced in Jesus, but I also look forward with longing to the day when they'll be no more pain, no more death, and no more tears; when the struggle is over and the redeemed are gathered safely home, "And thousands of voices are swelling the song, Worthy the Lamb that was slain!!!"

Hear the cries of the shackled from the onset of time
For the chains of defeat there's no key
See the tears of the broken, the cries of the slaves
Is there no one worthy to set us free?

Then the crying is stilled as the chorus rings out
The shackled released from their chains
And thousands of voices are swelling the song

Worthy the Lamb that was slain

Worthy, worthy
Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Worthy, worthy
Worthy the Lamb that was slain

Then all the archangels, the saints of all time
Holding their crowns in their hands
Fall down before Him joining the song
Worthy, worthy the Lamb!

Worthy, worthy
Worthy the Lamb that was slain
 

Worthy, worthy
Worthy the Lamb that was slain

Praise Him, praise Him
Praise the Lamb that was slain
Praise Him, praise Him
Praise the Lamb that was slain
Praise the Lamb that was slain
