Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Lamb of God, Holy One
Jesus Christ, Son of God
Lifted up willingly to die;
That I, the guilty one, may know
The blood once shed, still freely flowing,
Still cleansing, still healing.
I exalt You, Jesus my sacrifice
I exalt You my Redeemer and my Lord
I exalt You, worthy Lamb of God
And in honour I bow down before Your throne.
