Behold, the Lamb of God,
Which taketh away the sin of the world.
John 1:29
As a child, Twila Paris released her first album, entitled Little Twila Paris, in 1965 when she was seven years old. The album included songs drawn from those she sang with her family in their evangelistic meetings.
As an adult, Paris released her first full-length album in 1981, and four years later, wrote Lamb of God while sitting at the piano in her parents’ living room. Twila Paris has had a highly successful singing career, written and published children’s music, and created wonderful hymns and worship songs.
In the early 90’s,
when my husband was in seminary in Michigan, Twila Paris came to the university
campus to give a concert. Students and
their families were given free tickets, and I’m not sure who was more thrilled –
my children or me. As we left the gymnasium after the concert, my family all
agreed that their hands-down favorite song was, Lamb of God.
