Em          D/E     Em        Em/D
On a gray April morning as the chilling wind blew, 
   Cmaj7                      Am7       B7sus   B7/D#
A thousand dark promises were about to come true; 
   Em    D/E       Em           Em/D
As Satan stood trembling knowing now he had lost, 
      Cmaj7                           Am7    Bsus   B7   Em
As the Lamb took His first step on the way to the cross! 

Am7      D B7/D#   Em  D/E Em
This must be the Lamb: 
       Am7         D   B7/D#    Em
the fullfillment of all God has spoken! 
Am7      D B7/D#    Em  D/E Em
This must be the Lamb:  
      Am7      Am7/C        Bsus  B/D#
not a single bone will be broken! 
       Am7         Bm7   B7/D#   Em    D/F#   G
Like a sheep to the slaughter so silently still,  
Am7                  Em
This must be the Lamb!  
 
(verse 2) 
 
Em              D/E     Em        Em/D
They mocked His true calling and laughed at His fate, 
   Cmaj7                        Am7   B7sus     B7/D#
So glad to see the Gentle One consumed by their hate, 
   Em     D/E      Em      Em/D
Unaware of the wind and the darkening sky, 
   Cmaj7                        Am7      Bsus    B7 Em
So blind to the fact that it was God limping by!

(verse3) 
 
Em          D/E    Em          Em/D
The poor women weeping at what seemed a great loss, 
Cmaj7                        Am7         B7sus   B7/D#
Trembling in fear there at the foot of the cross, 
   Em     D/E   Em        Em/D
Tormented by memories that came like a flood, 
   Cmaj7                        Am7      Bsus   B7   Em
Unaware that their pardon must be bought with His blood!
