First a Lamb

He couldn't be my Savior
if he weren't first a lamb.
I couldn't call him Lord and King
if he'd not become a man.
He wouldn't be exalted now
unless he'd been brought low,
and I would have no hope of life
if he'd not died so long ago.
Not only died, but rose from death
to stand at God's right hand.
My Jesus suffered this for me;
My God was first "The Lamb."
