As Lamb he came us seeking
He called us to believe
As Lion, comes collecting
His jewels to retrieve
As Lamb he was rejected
Scorned unto the grave
As Lion we’ll receive him
As him who sought to save
As Lamb he let us question
His true identity
As Lion we will ponder
Our own eternity
As Lamb he stood in silence
Before his enemies
As Lion he the victor
And they on bended knees
As Lamb we should receive him
And harden not our heart
As Lion he will judge us
And doubters must depart
As Lamb he came in meekness
As Lion he returns
His wheat he always gathers
The chaff he always burns
