Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb, on High [repeat]
Thou art worthy to take the book
To open the seals thereof
For Thou was slain and has redeemed us
To God by Thy blood
By Thy blood, by Thy blood
By Thy blood, by Thy blood [repeat]
Thou art worthy to take the book
To open the seals thereof
For Thou was slain and has redeemed us
To God by Thy blood
By Thy blood, every kindred and tongue
By Thy blood, all people in every nation
By Thy blood, we're kings and priests
We shall reign, by Thy blood
By Thy blood, heaven and earth are saying
By Thy blood, blessing and honor and glory
By Thy blood, and power beyond to Him
Upon the throne
[Bridge]
By Thy blood,
By Thy blood (for it's only)
By Thy blood, ever kindred and tongue
By Thy blood, all people in every nation
By Thy blood, we're kings and priests
We shall reign, by Thy blood
By Thy blood
"By Thy Blood (Worthy Is The Lamb)" is a powerful and deeply meaningful song performed by Cece Winans. It is featured on her album "Throne Room" and has resonated with listeners around the world. The song beautifully captures the essence of redemption, sacrifice, and the worthiness of Jesus Christ.
The inspiration behind the song lies in the biblical references to the Lamb of God. In the book of Revelation, John describes a vision of heaven where he sees the Lamb who was slain, Jesus Christ, standing triumphantly before the throne of God. This image of the Lamb, worthy to open the seals of the book, represents Jesus' sacrificial death and his redemptive work for humanity.
The song begins with the powerful declaration, "Worthy is the Lamb, on high." This echoes the words of Revelation 5:12, where the angels and every creature in heaven and earth proclaim, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"
The lyrics continue to emphasize the worthiness of Jesus to take the book and open its seals. This book symbolizes God's plan for the world and the unfolding of His purposes. By His blood, by His sacrificial death on the cross, Jesus has redeemed us and reconciled us to God. The song reminds us that it is through His blood that we have been saved and made new.
The repetition of the phrase "By Thy blood" throughout the song serves as a powerful reminder of the central role that Jesus' blood plays in our redemption. The Bible teaches us that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 9:22). It is through Jesus' shed blood that we find forgiveness, cleansing, and reconciliation with God.
As the song progresses, it expresses the universal impact of Jesus' sacrifice. It proclaims that "every kindred and tongue" and "all people in every nation" are redeemed by His blood. This echoes the biblical promise that through Jesus, all nations will be blessed and that people from every tribe and language will be part of the Kingdom of God (Genesis 12:3, Revelation 7:9).
The song concludes with a powerful bridge that declares the heavenly response to Jesus' sacrifice. It speaks of heaven and earth joining together in worship, giving blessing, honor, glory, and power to Him who sits on the throne. This imagery reminds us that Jesus is not only the worthy Lamb, but He is also the exalted King who reigns forever.
"By Thy Blood (Worthy Is The Lamb)" is a song that encapsulates the profound truth of Jesus' sacrifice and the significance of His blood in our redemption. It invites us to reflect on the worthiness of Jesus and to respond in worship and adoration. As we listen to this song, we are reminded of the incredible love and grace of our Savior, and are invited to join the heavenly chorus in proclaiming His worthiness.
Cece Winans' rendition of this song is powerful and moving, capturing the depth of emotion and reverence that the lyrics inspire. Her powerful vocals and heartfelt delivery bring the message to life, allowing listeners to connect with the profound truths being proclaimed.
In conclusion, "By Thy Blood (Worthy Is The Lamb)" is a song that beautifully expresses the redemptive work of Jesus and the worthiness of His sacrifice. It draws upon biblical imagery and scripture verses to convey the profound truths of our faith. Through its powerful lyrics and Cece Winans' soul-stirring performance, this song invites us to reflect on the significance of Jesus' blood and respond in worship and adoration.
