It Took A Lamb

He could have come in all His splendor,
Greater than the eye has ever seen;
And He could have come in robes of scarlet,
So that all the world would see that He is King.

He could have ridden on a white horse,
As a warrior and conquered every land;
But He knew that if redemption's price were paid,
It would take a Lamb.

It took a Lamb to die upon a rugged cross,
It took a Lamb, only blood could pay the cost;
Nothing less could take away my sins,
That is why the Great I Am didn't come as a King;
Because He knew that it took a Lamb.

For many years the temple altars,
Were stained with sacrifices every day;
And though the blood appeased the Father,
Still the curse of sin it was never wiped away.

Until the day the ruled of justice,
It was granted by a touch from mercy's hand, from mercy's hand;
Then the Father in compassion said,
"It's time to send the spotless Lamb."

It took a Lamb to die upon a rugged cross.
It took a Lamb, only blood could pay the cost;
Nothing less could take away my sins,
That is why the Great I Am didn't come as a King;
Because He knew that it took a Lamb.

Nothing less could take away my sins,
And that is why the Great I Am didn't come as a King;
Because He knew that it took a Lamb.

It took a Lamb!
