What a Glorious Mystery

Songwriter(s): Stephen Altrogge

CCLI: #4126487

May 01 2003

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
Who can comprehend
Your holy ways O Lord
Your glorious power without end
From which the stars were born
How could we ever understand
The moving of Your hand?
How could we ever come to grasp
The One who never began?

CHORUS
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are
Though we only see in part
You’ve completely won our hearts
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are

VERSE 2
Who can comprehend
Your gracious mercy Lord
Great loving kindness that would send
A Savior to be born?
Why would you, Jesus, die for us
Who cursed Your perfect name?
Why would You come to reconcile
Those who caused Your shame?
