Lamb of God
Nicole C. Mullen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere in Bethlehem
A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying
I am Emmanuel
Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence
And a message to the land
A widow held him cherish the God
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God I offer me
Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them
Searching all the earth
Till they found the one child the very godchild
Who ruled the universe
Did they know the lady's little baby
Was God in fully man
And everything they gave him he himself
Had made with his hands
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God I offer me
I bring You all my hopes
I bring You all my dreams
I give You all my soul
My min and all my strength
I wrap them all inside
My heart to give to the
And I come
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him, Christ
Oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
What tribute shall I offer Thee
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God may I offer
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
So Lamb of God, please let me offer me
Lamb of God I offer me
The lyrics to Nicole C. Mullen's song "Lamb of God" describe the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem and the various worshipers who came to pay tribute to the newborn king. The first verse sets the scene for the birth, with the baby Jesus gracing the silence of the night and crying as any newborn would. The following lines describe how angels and shepherds alike worshiped the baby, and even a widow held him, cherishing the God who became a man.
The second verse introduces the wise men who traveled far and wide to find the baby, whom they recognized as the ruler of the universe. The lyrics suggest that the wise men may not have fully understood that the baby was both fully God and fully man. The chorus consists of a refrain, repeating the words "Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace," and questioning what tribute the singer can offer to worship Jesus. The third verse answers this question by stating that the singer offers all of their hopes, dreams, soul, mind, and strength to the Lamb of God.
Overall, the lyrics to "Lamb of God" are a reflection on the birth of Jesus and an expression of worship and gratitude for all that he has done. They describe the various responses to Jesus' birth, from the awe of the angels to the humility of the shepherds to the mystery that surrounded the wise men. The chorus expresses the singer's sense of awe and humility before the Lord, recognizing that they have nothing to offer but themselves.

Once upon a long night after a hard cry
On a dark and difficult night after much weeping
Somewhere in Bethlehem
In a location called Bethlehem
A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying
A child entered the peacefulness with the sound of his cries
I am Emmanuel
This child is named Emmanuel
Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence
Angels sang for him, and those who tend sheep knelt in respect
And a message to the land
Their kneeling was a message to others
A widow held him cherish the God
A widow embraced him, valuing the flesh-and-blood God
Who became a man
This God took on humanity
But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
Oh, Jesus who is both sacrificial lamb and peaceful ruler
What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
What can I offer in worship?
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
I have no wealth to present
So Lamb of God I offer me
So instead, I offer myself
Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them
The ones known to be wise - did you notice them? A star led them
Searching all the earth
They scanned the whole earth
Till they found the one child the very godchild
Until they arrived at the God-child
Who ruled the universe
The one who governed everything
Did they know the lady's little baby
Realized they that the woman's infant
Was God in fully man
Was God in utterly human form
And everything they gave him he himself
All the gifts they presented He is the final cause of
Had made with his hands
Because they were made by Him
I bring You all my hopes
I offer to You all my high desires
I bring You all my dreams
I offer to You all that I aspire to
I give You all my soul
I surrender my very being to You
My min and all my strength
My mind and all my power
I wrap them all inside
I envelop them inside
My heart to give to the
So that I may offer them to You
And I come
And I approach
O come let us adore Him
Oh come, let us venerate Him
Christ
He who is called Christ
Oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
Oh, Jesus who is both sacrificial lamb and peaceful ruler
What tribute shall I offer Thee
What can I offer in worship?
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
I have no wealth to present
So Lamb of God may I offer
So instead, may I offer
I have no gold to lay at Your feet
I have no wealth to present
So Lamb of God, please let me offer me
So Jesus, allow me to offer myself
Lamb of God I offer me
I offer myself as a sacrifice to You
