Behold the Branch


"Mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord: in Thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute" (Psalm 141:8).  "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended?... What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell?... He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:4,5).  "Behold, I will bring forth My Servant the BRANCH… and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day" (Zechariah 3:8,9).  "See the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory… Look up, and lift up your heads" (Luke 21:27,28). 

Our eyes are lifted up to Christ;
We're trusting in His name alone. 
Behold the Lamb once sacrificed,
And make His great salvation known! 

Behold our Lord ascended up,
Who also had descended first
To drink for us that dreadful cup
Of heaven's wrath for sinners cursed. 

Behold the BRANCH, God's Holy One,
Upon the cross of Calvary: 
In just one day the work was done
By which He purged iniquity! 

As we behold the BRANCH that came,
O Lord, we see redemption's story
That blossoms in this wondrous name
That manifests Your grace and glory!
