Revelation 5:5-6 · “The Lion and The Lamb” · Big Daddy Weave

NOT A QUOTE “The Lion and The Lamb” Big Daddy Weave Revelation 5:5-6 Sing it. Both titles are from the same passage and belong to the same person. Read Revelation 5, though, because there the Lion is announced and a slain Lamb is what appears, which is sharper than a pairing.

✓ Both titles come from the same passage and are used of the same person, which is what Revelation 5 does

⚠ Revelation 5 stages a substitution: the Lion is announced, and a slain Lamb is what John sees. The song presents the two as a balanced pair

Revelation 5:9-10 · “Is He Worthy?” · Andrew Peterson

~ FAITHFUL “Is He Worthy?” Andrew Peterson Revelation 5:9-10 Sing it. The questions are the chapter's own, and the answer keeps what worthiness songs usually drop: why the Lamb is worthy and what his blood bought. It names no translation, so check the two verses yourself.

✓ Keeps the reason: the Lamb is worthy because he was slain and his blood paid a price, not worthy as a free-floating compliment

⚠ No translation is named and no verse is cited. Reworked into question and answer, the wording matches no translation word for word, so there is no stated text to check it against

Revelation 5:12 · “This Is Amazing Grace” · Phil Wickham

~ FAITHFUL “This Is Amazing Grace” Phil Wickham Revelation 5:12 Sing it. The bridge's first line is Revelation 5:12 as far as it goes, and what the song adds is true from other texts. Know that the verse itself keeps going, into seven things the Lamb is worthy to receive.

✓ The bridge's first line carries the acclamation of Revelation 5:12 unaltered as far as it goes, in the wording most modern translations share

⚠ The verse's own ending never appears. Revelation 5:12 gives the Lamb seven things, power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, blessing, and the song keeps none of them
