Behold!

By Jennifer Kennedy Dean

Behold—what man is this
Whose Voice the winds obey
Whose touch can make the leper clean
And wash his shame away

Behold—what Love is this
That reaches out for me
And lifts me from the miry clay
To set my spirit free

Behold—what Pow’r is this
That shatters sin’s domain
And clears away all hindrance to
The mighty Savior’s reign

Behold—the Lamb of God
Who takes my sin away
Behold His nail-pierced hands and feet—
The print of God on clay

Behold—our reigning Lord
All glory, honor, might
Belong to Him—the worthy One
Now clothed in robes of light

Behold—our coming King
All peoples, every tongue
Sing out His praise, lift high His Name
The final vict’ry’s won
