Come Behold The Wondrous Mystery
by Matt Papa & Matt Boswell
Theology & Meaning
Written by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell, this song systematically presents core gospel truths. Verse by verse, it covers the incarnation, Christ's sinless life, substitutionary death, and resurrection. The term 'mystery' is used as in Colossians 1:26-27.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song works well in teaching moments or as a reflective set piece leading up to Easter or Christmas. To help the congregation engage with the rich lyrics, consider displaying relevant scripture before each verse.
Arrangement Tips
It can be done simply (acoustic guitar or piano) to maintain focus on the words. Try having only vocals and minimal instruments on verse 1 to create a hush of wonder, then build gradually.
