Behold The Lamb was written by my father, Jackie McCool, when I was a very small girl. He recorded the song with the bluegrass gospel band Lifted Up when I was five years old. I lost my first tooth while sitting in a chair next to the producer’s mixing board. The producer stopped the recording to let me tell everyone through the microphone that I lost my tooth. Fun memories! Lifted Up was composed of my parents, my brother, and Clinton Johnston, all of whom are on this CD. The song is written from the point of view of a witness at the baptism of Jesus and his crucifixion. I’ve heard this song all my life and it is still one of my favorite gospel songs.
