Verse 1
Like a lamb led to the slaughter, Jesus never opened His mouth
From the trial to the crucifixion and to the grave He was laid out
After three days in the garden tomb, I can hear the angels sing
As the Lamb came forth as a lion and the lion became the king

Chorus
You won’t find Him again at the whipping post, standing there so meek
And He won’t be nailed to a rugged cross through His hands and through His feet
Oh, there’ll never be another Calvary ‘cause He don’t have to prove one thing
The day the Lamb became the lion and the lion became the king

Verse 2
You know Jesus left His splendor to live on earth for man
By most He was rejected, because He came forth as a lamb
But the day is soon approaching when every eye shall see
The Lamb, the Lion of Judah has been crowned the King of Kings

Chorus
You won’t find Him again at the whipping post, standing there so meek
Yeah He won’t be nailed to a rugged cross through His hands and through His feet
Oh, there’ll never be another Calvary ‘cause He don’t have to prove one thing
The day the Lamb became the lion and the lion became the king

Tag
The day the Lamb became the lion and the lion became the king
He is the King of Kings
