I walked alone
Before the crowd
Made my stand
I've cried aloud
I'm just a slave
Unworthy hire
I've only washed off
Earthly mire
I'm not the one
The world awaits
But now he's here
He's at the gates
He will baptise
Your soul entire
With heavenly power
With holy fire
The sun arose
The morning clear
I watched him walk
His steps drew near
I whispered, "Lo
This cannot be
You are the one
To baptise me."
He smiled and said
"Relax, my friend
It's been ordained
To thus begin."
The Spirit's voice
Confirmed inside
So to all around I cried
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Who takes away the sin
Of all the world
This is the truth
I testify
I've seen not only
With my eyes
The Spirit came
A shining dove
On silver wings
From high above
And settled down
Upon him there
The Father's voice
Filled all the air
"You're my delight
Since times begun
My beloved
My only Son."
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Behold the Lamb
Of God
Who takes away the sin
Of all the world
Who takes away the sin
Who takes away the sin
Who takes away the sin
