A few weeks back, Rebekah and I had the opportunity to have a mother/daughter night out and we went to see a Christmas concert performed by the group Selah. And we had a delightful evening, even getting to meet the group and talk with them for a few minutes afterwards. Rebekah was totally impressed that one of the group's members also grew up as a "missionary kid" in Africa! In fact, her very favorite songs were always the ones sung in a tribal language or with the distinctive sound of African tam tams. This song, "Mystery," however, was a new song for me and has become a favorite around our house this Christmas 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
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
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
