Lyrics:

1. Behold the Lamb of God, who carries our burden, who knows our pain, who bears the sins of the world.

Refrain: Behold the Lamb of God. Jesus is the Lamb of God.

2. Surely he has borne our grief and carried the sorrows of us all. Struck down in our stead, rejected and scorned, and by his wounds we are healed.

3. Father, forgive them; they do not understand. They do not understand what they do.

4. The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of Christ, and he shall reign for endless days. Worthy is the Lamb.
