There in heaven John shed great tears and sighed. <br />But then, 'Weep not' one of the elders cried. <br />'The secrets of the scroll can be unveiled' <br />'for the Lion of Judah has prevailed.' <br /> <br />Before them stood a Lamb so clear and plain <br />pierced and looking as though it had been slain. <br />Then the Lamb took the scroll as angels sang <br />and throughout heaven this great chorus rang. <br /> <br />'Worthy is the Lamb' all the heavens cried <br />'Worthy is the Lamb' all the earth replied, <br />'For He was slain for us and shed His blood <br />and purchased the people on earth for God.' <br /> <br />The Lion became a Lamb to pay the price <br />and saved the world by His great sacrifice. <br />When He hung there upon that wooden cross <br />and gave up His life to redeem the lost. <br /> <br />So weep no more and shed no more tears <br />But join the song throughout eternal years. <br />'Worthy is the Lamb' enthroned in Glory <br />for Christ Jesus has won the victory. <br /> <br />(see also the additional information in the Poet's notes box below)<br /><br />Roy Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-the-lion-of-the-tribe-of-judah/
