The Lion And The Lamb
by Bethel Music
Theology & Meaning
This song declares Jesus as both the conquering Lion and the sacrificial Lamb. It highlights His authority over all nations and His victory through humility and the cross. The contrasts in the language help the church remember that the King we worship rules through self giving love.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this when you want to focus your church on the lordship of Christ and the hope of His return. It can serve as a strong up tempo song in the middle of a set that emphasizes His rule. Invite people to consider areas of life that need to bow to Jesus as they sing.
Arrangement Tips
Lock the groove with the drummer and bass so the song feels strong but not rushed. Guitars can carry the main riffs but watch volume so vocals remain clear. Consider ending with a repeated chorus that gradually simplifies instrumentally to let the church carry it out.
