Above: 'Worthy is the Lamb' performed live by the New York Staff Band
The music has been built around a modern Christian song,
based on the fifth chapter of the revelation of John. In John's
vision, the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, is praised in the heavens; "For
you were slain and by your blood you purchased for God the people of
every tribe, language, nation and race" (Revelation 5: 9).
This piece
was first recorded by the Melbourne Staff Band on the 'Let
Everything Praise' CD, released in 2006. It subsequently appeared
on the MSB's Tour of Korea CD entitled, 'A Celebration of Faithfulness', released in 2008.
