Lamb Of Glory
Steve Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear the story from God’s Word
That kings and priests and prophets heard
There would be a sacrifice
And blood would flow to pay sin’s price

Chorus:
Precious Lamb of Glory
Love’s most wondrous story
Heart of God’s redemption of man
Worship the Lamb of Glory

On the cross God loved the world
While all the powers of hell were hurled
No one there could understand
The one they say was Christ the Lamb

Chorus

Precious Lamb of Glory
Love’s most wondrous story
Heart of God’s redemption of man
Glory to the Lamb
Pure as snow I stand
Worshipping the Lamb of Glory
With the saints I will stand in eternity
Giving praise to the Lamb of Glory
Glory
Precious Lamb of Glory
Love’s most wondrous story
Heart of God’s redemption of man
Glory to the Lamb




Pure as snow I stand
Worshipping the Lamb of Glory

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steve Green's "Lamb of Glory" convey the story from God's word, that was heard by kings, priests, and prophets, which prophesied a coming sacrifice to pay sin's price with flowing blood. The first verse sets the background of the song and establishes the theme of sacrifice, and the following chorus repeats the praise and worship of the "Precious Lamb of Glory." The second verse then takes us to the cross, where Christ was crucified, and it poetically expresses how God's love overcame the powers of hell, and no one there could understand what was happening.


The final chorus is a repetition of the first one, but with an additional line expressing the purity of the singer standing before the Lamb of Glory, worshipping with the saints presently and in eternity. The song concludes with an outro of "Glory to the Lamb" repeated several times, expressing a desire to continue praising the Lamb of Glory eternally. Steve Green's "Lamb of Glory" is a powerful testimony of love's wondrous story and the heart of God's redemption of mankind.

In Sept. of 1989 my Boy friend  and I went and heard him in Dresher PA. We loved Steve Green. Two weeks late my boy friend proposed! Married three months later, and we celebrate 25 years this Dec. 2014! Steve Green's music has been a blessing to our lives over the years!

I studied his intonation for many years; there was nothing better for any tenor than to sing like Steve Green.

If you want the most chilling song for Easter from this amazing singer, listen to He Holds the Keys. The most chilling song of all time though is Enter In

Hermoso, con coros, como debio haberse grabado la version del disco Tienen Que Saber, en todo caso, hermosa calidad del video, pues al parecer tiene más de 20 años.
