The Lamb Without Blemish
By larry r Linville

(sung to tune of “Amazing Grace.”)

Bring out the lamb without blemish
And slaughter it at night
and put some blood on the door posts
to start a sacred rite.

The blood will be a telling sign
that God will surely give
so when the plague comes by your house
your family will live.

The lamb with bitter herbs and bread
you shall gather to eat
remembering that victory
which made you life complete.

Another lamb without blemish
was slaughtered on a hill
and we still gather to this day
remembering him we will.

So eat his body, drink his blood
in this Passover meal
remembering all that God has done
and how our lives he’ll heal.
