Behold the Lamb
The Communion Hymn
Words and Music by Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townsend
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,
C/E F2 C/G G7
Slain for us: and we remember:
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
The promise made that all who come in faith
C/E F G7 C
Find forgiveness at the cross.
C/E F C F G
So we share in this Bread of life,
C/E F C F G
And we drink of His sacrifice,
C/E F C F G
As a sign of our bonds of peace
F/A F G C
Around the table of the King.
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
The body of our Saviour, Jesus Christ,
C/E F2 C/G G7
Torn for you: eat and remember
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life,
C/E F G7 C
Paid the price to make us one.
C/E F C F G
So we share in this Bread of life,
C/E F C F G
And we drink of His sacrifice,
C/E F C F G
As a sign of our bonds of love
F/A F G C
Around the table of the King.
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
C/E F2 C/G G7
Shed for you: drink and remember
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
He drained death's cup that all may enter in
C/E F G7 C
To receive the life of God.
C/E F C F G
So we share in this Bread of life,
C/E F C F G
And we drink of His sacrifice,
C/E F C F G
As a sign of our bonds of grace
F/A F G C
Around the table of the King.
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
And so with thankfulness and faith
C/E F2 C/G G7
We rise to respond: and to remember
C G/B C Dm7 C/E G
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
C/E F G7 C
As His body here on earth.
C/E F C F G
As we share in His suffering
C/E F C F G
We proclaim Christ will come again!
C/E F C F G
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven
F/A F G C
Around the table of the King.
