A Lamb stands alive in the center, bearing wounds that speak of death. Seven horns and seven searching eyes reveal complete power and sight. He approaches the throne and takes the book from the eternal hand. Living creatures, elders, harps, and bowls of prayer fall where he stands. A Lamb as It Had Been Slain All heaven and earth resound before the throne. Blessing and honour rise unto the Lamb. Let every living voice confess him worthy. A new song names him worthy because the slain One lives. Blood has purchased every kindred, every language, people, nation. Crowns fall low where everlasting glory burns. The throne remains, and every creature answers. The redeemed become a kingdom and a priesthood before God. The Lamb who bore the wound now holds the future of the earth. A Lamb as It Had Been Slain All heaven and earth resound before the throne. Blessing and honour rise unto the Lamb. Let every living voice confess him worthy. A Lamb as It Had Been Slain

About the passage

Revelation 5: The Lion is revealed as a slain Lamb

A book sealed with seven seals creates a crisis that heaven's entire created order cannot solve. No one in heaven, earth, or beneath the earth is found worthy to open it, and John weeps. An elder announces the answer as the Lion of Judah and Root of David, but when John looks he sees a Lamb standing as though slain. The Book of Revelation makes that change from hearing to seeing the chapter's hinge: royal victory is revealed through sacrificial death. The Lamb takes the sealed book without struggle, and the response widens in circles. Living creatures and elders sing a new song, angels join with an immense acclamation, and finally every creature gives blessing and honor to God on the throne and to the Lamb. Worthiness is not asserted abstractly. It is explained by the Lamb's death and redemption of people from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation.
