As Lion & As Lamb

As Lamb he came us seeking
He called us to believe
As Lion, comes collecting
His jewels to retrieve

As Lamb he was rejected
Scorned unto the grave
As Lion we’ll receive him
As him who sought to save

As Lamb he let us question
His true identity
As Lion we will ponder
Our own eternity

As Lamb he stood in silence
Before his enemies
As Lion he the victor
And they on bended knees

As Lamb we should receive him
And harden not our heart
As Lion he will judge us
And doubters must depart

As Lamb he came in meekness
As Lion he returns
His wheat he always gathers
The chaff he always burns
