The idea of this song came from the Chinese word for righteous (義). Literally speaking, it is the Chinese character for Lamb (羊) on top of the Chinese word for Me (我). This word has a powerful message indeed. Jesus died for us as a Sacrificial Lamb, but He rose again and reigns on high. Now and forever, He will be the one who makes my day, the Lamb over me!
I am blessed that God used this song... that God used someone like me who doesn't even know much about music... to save someone after hearing it during Shalom G2's evangelistic concert. All praise be to God!
Verse 1:
Jesus, You are God’s precious Son
You came to earth for me
Jesus, You are the Sacrifice –
Who bore my sins,
Who took my place,
Who died on the cross for me.
Chorus:
You’re the Lamb who paid the price
Yet you are holy and without sin
You're the Love sent from above
To cleanse us wholly within.
So I ask you now…
be the Lamb over me.
Verse 2:
Jesus, You are better than gold
Your worth is greater to me.
Jesus, You are the morning star –
Who brightens my day,
Who brings me to say,
“I’ll be devoted to You!”
Chorus:
Ending:
Jesus, You are God’s precious Son
Jesus, You are the Sacrifice
Jesus, You are better than gold
Jesus, you are the morning star
Jesus, You are the Lamb over me.
Here's the mp3 version:
By the way, that's me singing solo with our church's acapella group Shalom G2. This was arranged by our very own Pastor Hensie Reyes. We will be doing a proper recording of this song for our church's 40th anniversary!
