“Led Like A Lamb” holds a special place in Graham Kendrick’s heart, not only because of its message but also because of how it engaged people in worship when it was first introduced.

Graham recalls leading a crowd at Spring Harvest when the song was new. One of the most memorable parts of the song is the chorus where the word “Hallelujah” is repeated in a call-and-response pattern.

“The obvious thing to do was to divide the crowd into three sections and have them call and respond with ‘Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.’ It created a powerful and dynamic atmosphere of worship.”

The Power of Antiphonal Worship

This call-and-response style of worship, known as antiphonal worship, has deep roots in biblical tradition. It’s a dynamic approach where one side of the congregation calls out and the other responds, creating a sense of unity and collective praise.

“It’s very much there in the Psalms, but we don’t use it very much these days. I think we should bring back antiphonal songs and get us all interacting together in our worship.”

A Song for Easter and Beyond

“Led Like A Lamb” speaks to the heart of the Easter story – Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection. The powerful “Hallelujah” refrain reflects the triumph of Christ’s victory over death and invites the congregation to celebrate together.

This song not only captures the message of Easter but also creates a moment where worship becomes interactive and deeply communal.
