Jesus, Lamb of God
Revelation 21: 5-8
He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’
He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practise magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulphur. This is the second death.’
Jesus, Lamb of God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied by the Water of Life;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are Alpha and omega, beginning and End,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me and so surely I will overcome.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
[based on psalm 63]
