Digne est l'Agneau

Stéphane Quéry's song 'Digne est l'Agneau' is a powerful expression of gratitude and reverence towards Jesus Christ. The lyrics are deeply rooted in Christian theology, focusing on the sacrifice of Jesus and the salvation it brings to believers. The song opens with a heartfelt thank you for the cross and the price Jesus paid, acknowledging the immense suffering he endured to atone for humanity's sins. This act of grace is portrayed as astonishing and transformative, highlighting the profound impact of Jesus' sacrifice on the believer's life.

The second verse continues this theme of gratitude, specifically thanking Jesus for his love and the physical wounds he bore. The imagery of being washed in a river symbolizes spiritual cleansing and renewal, emphasizing the themes of forgiveness and divine love. The lyrics convey a deep sense of personal connection and understanding of Jesus' sacrifice, making it clear that the singer has experienced a profound spiritual awakening.

The chorus elevates the song to a hymn of worship, declaring Jesus as the 'Lamb' who is worthy of all honor and praise. The imagery of Jesus seated on a throne, crowned with many crowns, signifies his victory over sin and death. The repetition of 'Digne est l'agneau' (Worthy is the Lamb) serves as a powerful affirmation of Jesus' holiness and exalted status. The song concludes by reiterating Jesus' divine nature and his ultimate sacrifice, encapsulating the core message of Christian faith: redemption through the crucifixion of Jesus, the treasured Son of God.
