This song by Twila Paris is possibly one of the great hymns of the modern era. The phrase "guilty sod" is so evocative, and I also appreciate the irony in the second verse – they "sacrificed the Lamb of God".
Your only Son, no sin to hide,
But You have sent Him from Your side,
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God.
Your gift of Love they crucified,
They laughed and scorned him as he died;
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God.
Oh Lamb of God, Sweet lamb of God,
I love the Holy Lamb of God;
Oh wash me in His precious Blood,
My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
I was so lost I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side;
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God.
