Or, download the first performance of this song: Holy One (Lamb of God) (431)

Behold the holy Lamb of God
Who takes away the sin of the world
I am not worthy to stoop down
To untie the laces of his shoes

Not by me, my Lord, my hand trembles
It is you, my Lord, who should baptize me with your love

Behold a voice from heaven above
Spoken to the Son below
This is my only son, whom I love
Today I have begotten with, with my love

Oh, Lord, my God, you are the Savior
What am I, my Lord, but a great sinner in your eyes?

(guitar)

The Lord Jesus was baptized
In the river Jordan nigh
In the water there sprang life
All the captives then set free
But by water not alone
For by blood he came also
Shed for all, that all might live
Known by all, that all might know
Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Oh, Lord, my God, you are the Savior
What am I, my Lord, but a great sinner in your eyes?

Baptize me, Lord, I cry to you
That I might sing in tongues unknown
And find a new melody in my heart
And find a new harmony in my soul
