Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. b. 1944 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 First Line: Mark how the Lamb of God's self-offf'ring Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God's self-off'ring Our human sinfulness takes on In the birth-waters of the Jordan As Jesus is baptized by John. Hear how the voice from heaven thunders, "Lo, this is My beloved Son." See how in dove-like form the Spirit Descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favor Jesus goes to the wilderness, There to endure a time of testing That readied Him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit Baptized into Christ's ministry, Are often led to paths of service Through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage To live the faith our lips declare; Bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from ev'ry false allegiance, That we may trust in Christ alone: Raise up in us a chosen people Transformed by love to be Your own.
