Lyrics
Verse 1
How precious is the One who bore my sin
How beautiful the hands that drew me in
The Savior of the world
The One who's not contained by time or space
The One who lit the stars and knows my name
The Savior of the world, the Savior of the world
Chorus
Behold the risen Lamb of God
The Cornerstone, our solid rock
Jesus, Your name will echo through eternity
The One that Hell could not contain
The One who left an empty grave
Jesus, Your name will echo through eternity
Verse 2
How beautiful the song that Heaven sings
Forever lifted high, we let it ring
Oh the song of the redeemed, oh the song of the redeemed
Chorus
Behold the risen Lamb of God
The Cornerstone, our solid rock
Jesus, Your name will echo through eternity
The One that Hell could not contain
The One who left an empty grave
Jesus, Your name will echo through eternity

Fire in His eyes, love in His veins
Conquering King, who's mighty to save
Forever and ever we sing out the name of Jesus

Behold the risen Lamb of God
The Cornerstone, our solid rock
Jesus, Your name will echo through eternity
The One that Hell could not contain
The One who left an empty grave

Meaning & Inspiration
“The Risen Lamb of God” presents Jesus through a sequence of biblical images: sin-bearer, Creator, Savior, cornerstone, conquering King, and risen Lord. The opening verse joins personal redemption to divine majesty, moving from the hands that draw a sinner near to the One who made the stars and knows each name. Its chorus places the empty grave at the center of hope. Calling Jesus both the Lamb and the solid rock holds sacrifice and security together, while the repeated promise that his name will endure gives the worship an eternal horizon.
The bridge expands the scene from individual salvation to universal authority. Evil acknowledges Jesus, creation bows, and the redeemed continue their song. First Corinthians 15:4 directly supports the declaration of an empty grave by affirming that Christ was raised on the third day. First Peter 2:6 supplies the cornerstone image and describes trust in him as secure. The lyrics therefore celebrate resurrection not as an isolated event, but as the revelation of the Savior’s lasting reign.
