Lamb of God
Nicole C. Mullen (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a long night after a hard cry
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
Who became a man

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

Line by Line Meaning

Once upon a long night after a hard cry
At a particular time in the past, on a long night following a period of intense weeping


Somewhere in Bethlehem
In a place called Bethlehem


A baby graced the silence sweetly he's crying
A newborn child brought serenity, yet cried sweetly


I am Emmanuel
I am known as Emmanuel


Then angels gave him music, shepherds gave reverence
Celestial beings provided him harmonic melodies, while men of the flock gave honor and respect


And a message to the land
As well as a message for all to hear


A widow held him cherish the God
A widow embraced him, acknowledging him as divine


Who became a man
He who was deity, also took on human flesh


But oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
Oh, you who are the Lamb of God and the ruler of peace


What tribute shall I bring to worship Thee
What can I offer in homage to You?


I have no gold to lay at Your feet
I have no valuable possessions to give to You


So Lamb of God I offer me
Therefore, I present myself to You, who is the Lamb of God


Can You see the wise men? A star did guide them
Were you aware of the wise men following a star as their guide?


Searching all the earth
Exploring the entire world


Till they found the one child the very godchild
Until they reached the specific child, who was not only a human, but also a god


Who ruled the universe
One who governed the entire cosmos


Did they know the lady's little baby
Were they aware that the child belonged to a woman?


Was God in fully man
And that the child was actually both fully god and fully human


And everything they gave him he himself
Furthermore, all they offered him, he himself had previously created


Had made with his hands
Throughout his making of everything, he had used his own hands


I bring You all my hopes
I give to You all my aspirations


I bring You all my dreams
I give to You all my aspirations while asleep


I give You all my soul, My mind and all my strength
I give to You every part of myself: my spirit, my intellect, and my force


I wrap them all inside, My heart to give to the
I bundle everything within my innermost being, in order to give all of it to You


And I come O come let us adore Him
Thus, I arrive, and say: 'O come, let us venerate Him'


Christ
Who is named Christ


Oh, Lamb of God, oh, Prince of peace
Oh, You who are the Lamb of God and the ruler of peace


What tribute shall I offer Thee
What can I give in tribute to You?


So Lamb of God may I offer
So may I submit myself to You, the Lamb of God


I have no gold to lay at Your feet
I do not possess valuable items to present at Your feet


So Lamb of God, please let me offer me
Therefore, allow me to present myself to You, the Lamb of God


Lamb of God I offer me
Lamb of God, I present myself
