Leeland’s “Lion and the Lamb” is a Christian worship song that explores a fascinating image of God. The song describes God with two seemingly opposite ideas: a powerful lion and a gentle lamb.
The “lion” side of God is clear. The lyrics talk about his strength, majesty, and how he conquers enemies. This reflects how the Bible portrays God as a mighty king and warrior.
But then comes the “lamb” side. The song mentions his gentleness, sacrifice, and taking away sin. This refers to Jesus’s role as the sacrificial lamb who died for humanity’s sins.
So, “Lion and the Lamb” isn’t saying there are two separate Gods. Instead, it’s a beautiful way to express that God is both powerful and loving. He can be a fierce protector and a gentle comforter – all at the same time.

Lion And The Lamb Lyrics by Leeland
He’s coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord almighty?
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power and fighting our battles
Every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
Every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Open up the gates
Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord almighty?
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power and fighting our battles
Every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
Every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Who can stop the Lord almighty?
Who can stop the Lord almighty…
Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power and fighting our battles
Every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world, His blood breaks the chains
Every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
Every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
