"For this God is our God forever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death" (Psalm 48:14). "And Pilate said unto them, Behold the Man!..... And he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!" (John 19:5,14).
Behold, our God became a Man;
Behold our Guide and gracious King!
Behold the distance God would span,
And down to us salvation bring!
Behold what Jesus Christ became,
Descending in humility
To take upon Himself our shame:
Behold the Lamb at Calvary!
Behold the Man of Sorrows there;
Behold the crown of thorns He wore!
Behold His love beyond compare;
Behold the Savior we adore!
Behold Him dying on the cross:
It was for us He bore that pain
To spare us from eternal loss
And heap on us eternal gain!
Behold Him laid within the tomb.
Behold Him as they seal the grave.
Behold that Seed who died now bloom,
Alive forevermore to save!
Behold Him now upon His throne:
The Lamb who washed our sins away!
He's coming back to call His own;
Behold He comes: perhaps today!
Behold, He'll come to reign on earth
When all the nations praise His name,
And they shall then declare the worth
Of all that Jesus Christ became!
