Mystery

Wow. "Mystery", on Selah's Christmas album, is amazing (mostly)! I'm currently listening to it on repeat. :) I'd love to listen to a live adaptation sung by a choir singing out from their hearts and with instruments played with power...I'd love to just lay there and listen to a live rendition...anyway, give it a listen!

Here are the lyrics (I know He wasn't necessarily born on Christmas Day, but, His birth is celebrated this season...) :

A child was born on Christmas Day
Born to save the world
But long before the world began
He knew His death was sure
The pain and strife secured

Mystery, how He came
To be a man
But greater still
How His death was in His plan
God predestined that His Son would die
And He still created man
Oh, what love is this
That His death was in His hands

The Christmas trees
They glow so bright
With presents all around
But Christmas brought
A tree of life
With blood that sacrificed
The greatest gift in life

Chorus

I am just a man and
Can't begin to comprehend
When You look into this traitor's eyes
What do You see that justifies the Lamb

God predestined that His
Son would die
And He still created man
Oh, what love is this
That His death was in His plan
Mystery, mystery
