#TheLambOfGod
The opening song for my modern oratorio "The Lamb of God: Once And For All" which celebrates the life and gospel of Jesus Christ. This song takes inspiration from Zechariah 9:9 ("Behold, your King is coming to you...") and describes the building anticipation for the prophesied Messiah.
Words and Music by Christopher R. Brown

Ever since the Lord foretold
Of the plan that would unfold
They were waiting for Messiah

And the time was getting close
For the coming of Messiah
