The Greatest Mystery

It is a mystery of ages past

And ages yet to come

How God designed this universe

Created by His Son

But why did the Word of life

Become the Lamb

Who took away my sin

So that I may be forgiven

When I am crucified with Him

It is a mystery why God would die

To save a wretch like me

Why Jesus Christ was crucified

So others could go free

But why did He chose to pay

The wages of sin

To which I now lay claim

And to give His life so willingly

So that I could live again

It must have been love

Unlike no other love

This world has ever known

It must have been love

That led the great I AM

To suffer all alone

But what kind of love is this

That gave His all

To set His people free

Why Jesus died so we could live

Is the greatest mystery

It is a mystery, why God would send

His only Son of man

Ordained to suffer on that cross

Before the world began

Why was He born to bear

My guilt and shame

Upon that bloody tree

Why Jesus died so I could live

Is the greatest mystery

It is a mystery, how God above

Could love someone like me

How the Father, Son, and holy Ghost

One Spirit in all three

How could they look beyond my filthy rags

And see all I could be

Through the righteousness of Jesus Christ

It is a mystery to me

It must have been love

Above and beyond all love

This world has ever known

It must have been love

That led the Prince of peace

To leave His Father's throne

But what kind of love is this

That gave His life, for all humanity

Why Jesus died, so we could live

Is the greatest mystery

It must have been love

Unlike no other love

This world has ever known

It must have been love

That led the great I AM

To suffer all alone

But what kind of love is this

That gave His all, to set His people free

Why Jesus died, so we could live

Is the greatest mystery

Why Jesus died, so we could live

Is the greatest mystery
