Verse 1
David could not sing this
When he wrote the psalms
Moses had to wait, like Abraham
Then Isaiah told us
Of a servant King (Isa. 53:11)
Led to slaughter as a silent Lamb (Isa. 53:7)
All the years they waited for this King
Longing for the day that they could sing
Chorus
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
You redeemed our souls to God (Rev. 5:12)
Verse 2
Now we join the chorus
Of this ancient song
That the saints of every age have sung
We proclaim the gospel
Of the risen Lamb
As we go to every tribe and tongue (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15, Rom. 10:14-18)
(We) sing it as we gather in this place
Till the day we sing it face to face (I Cor. 13:12, Rev. 22:4)
Repeat chorus
Verse 3
At the throne in Heaven
Saints of every age
Praise the Lamb Who sits upon the throne (Rev. 5:6, Rev. 7:9-10)
One by one we join them
And the chorus swells
For the song of Heaven is our own
One day every knee on earth will bow (Isa. 45:23, Rom. 14:11, Phil. 2:10)
To this worthy Lamb we worship now
Repeat chorus
