Author: Charles Chinula, 1885-1970; Helen Taylor; Tom Colvin Hymnal: Come, Let Us Walk This Road Together #18 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Behold the holy Lamb of God.
Yesu, the one who lifts for us a heavy load.
Holy, Lamb of God, raised high on the cross
to bear for us the pain and loss.
2 In silent grief and dignity
he takes the cross and walks that road to set us free.
Holy, Lamb of God, raised high on the cross
to bear for us the pain and loss.
3 And there outside the city wall,
high on the cross, they nail the one who saves us all.
Holy, Lamb of God, raised high on the cross
to bear for us the pain and loss.
4 But listen to his heartfelt cry,
"My God, my God, now will you leave me here to die?"
Holy, Lamb of God, raised high on the cross
to bear for us the pain and loss.
5 Yesu while dying on that tree,
forgives our folly and our sins and sets us free.
Holy, Lamb of God, raised high on the cross
to bear for us the pain and loss.
