The lamb, the sacrifice
holy and pure
unblemished, anointed
a fragrant offering
pleasing to God
Christ on the altar
the fire of the cross
taking on our sin
dying for us instead
God, the Messiah
Emmanuel
walking the way, obedient
drinking the cup of sacrifice
going down into the grave
Rising to paradise
on the other side
from the pit of the tomb
that we may live again
