  Our Father, guide Your children’s feet Savior, protect Your wandering sheep Protect Your ransomed, blood-bought flock Be to our souls a shelt’ring Rock.   Protect us from a world of sin From foes without and worse within Protect us from the fiends of hell But most, protect us from ourselves.   Break all our pride and vain conceit Lord, lay us low before Your feet Make us our wretched vileness know Humble our hearts and lay us low.   Here we began, Here we must stay If we would walk the narrow way Sinners by nature, all undone Our only hope is in God’s Son.   But what a blessed hope this is Christ is the Lord our Righteousness Washed in His sin-atoning blood We stand perfect before our God!

Observe how the Lamb had seven horns. The horn was a symbol of authority and strength and being that there are seven horns we are being pointed to the perfect power and omnipotence of the Lord Jesus.  Christ is omnipotent and is...
