Lyrics
Verse:
For I'm moving with the Lamb moving with the Lamb I'm surrounded
For I'm moving with the Lamb moving with the Lamb I'm surrounded
I'm strolling with the Lamb I'm strolling with the King of Kings
Stepping with the Lamb stepping over my sins
Chorus:
For I'm dressed in a holy robe of God I'm surrounded
By the Host from Heaven's court and the King of Kings
And I drink from the holy cup of God I'm surrounded
Bridge:
I'm moving with the Lamb
I'm strolling with the Lamb
I'm stepping with the Lamb

Moving With The Lamb
Meaning & Inspiration
"Moving With The Lamb" by Rita Springer, released on July 3, 2001, as part of her powerful live album *Created to Worship (Recorded Live At the Anaheim Vineyard)*, stands as a profound declaration of intimate fellowship with the divine. This song immediately immerses the listener into a spiritual journey, focusing not on a fleeting moment, but on a sustained, active relationship with Jesus Christ, often referred to as the Lamb of God throughout Scripture, particularly in John 1:29 and extensively in the Book of Revelation (e.g., Revelation 5:6, 7:17). The core message is one of continuous communion, guidance, and the transformative power of God's presence in a believer's daily life.
The repeated imagery of "moving with the Lamb," "strolling with the Lamb," and "stepping with the Lamb" paints a vivid picture of an intentional, ongoing walk. This isn't a passive faith; it's an active partnership, reminiscent of Enoch walking with God (Genesis 5:24) or Abraham's journey of faith (Genesis 12:1-4). The phrase "I'm surrounded" offers immense comfort and assurance, suggesting divine protection and an ever-present encirclement by God's grace. This resonates deeply with Psalm 125:2, which states, "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people," conveying a sense of security and being encompassed by His love and power, much like the psalmist declares in Psalm 34:7, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them."
As the song progresses, we hear "I'm strolling with the Lamb I'm strolling with the King of Kings." This elevation of the Lamb to "King of Kings" (Revelation 19:16) bridges the humility of Christ's sacrifice with His ultimate sovereignty. To stroll with the King of Kings implies a privileged intimacy, a confident walk in the company of supreme authority, suggesting that those who follow Him share in His triumph and reign. The line, "Stepping with the Lamb stepping over my sins," is particularly potent, directly addressing the core of Christ's redemptive work. It signifies not merely an avoidance of sin, but an empowered victory over it, made possible by the Lamb's sacrifice. This echoes Romans 6:14, "For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace," underscoring the freedom and new life found in Christ (Romans 6:4). It is a declaration of liberation, where the burden and power of sin are overcome through divine intervention.
The chorus further expands on this profound spiritual reality: "For I'm dressed in a holy robe of God I'm surrounded / By the Host from Heaven's court and the King of Kings / And I drink from the holy cup of God I'm surrounded." The "holy robe of God" immediately evokes the imagery of righteousness and salvation, as seen in Isaiah 61:10: "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness." This speaks to imputed righteousness, where believers are clothed in Christ's perfection, not their own. The vision of being surrounded "by the Host from Heaven's court" paints a magnificent picture of belonging to a greater spiritual family, aligning with Hebrews 12:22-24, which speaks of coming to Mount Zion, "to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven." This imparts a sense of being part of a cosmic, divine gathering. "Drinking from the holy cup of God" signifies deep spiritual nourishment and communion. It can be seen as partaking in the New Covenant through Christ's blood (Luke 22:20), receiving the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39), or sharing in the blessings and divine fellowship He offers. This continuous intake from God's presence further contributes to the overwhelming sense of being "surrounded" by His goodness, power, and glory.
The bridge serves as a powerful reaffirmation, bringing the message full circle by reiterating the core actions: "I'm moving with the Lamb, I'm strolling with the Lamb, I'm stepping with the Lamb." This repetition underscores the believer's unwavering commitment and the consistent, dynamic nature of their walk with Christ. "Moving With The Lamb" is more than a song; it's a declaration of identity and purpose for the follower of Christ. It inspires a confident, joyful, and deeply connected walk with Jesus, the Lamb of God, offering assurance in His presence, victory over sin, and the immense privilege of being clothed in His righteousness and embraced by His heavenly court. Its timeless message provides encouragement and spiritual strength for all who seek a tangible, living relationship with their King.
