Listen to “Great Mystery” performed by Women Who Worship.
A group of talented female musicians performed a song about one of the most puzzling aspects of God.
Life, at times, can be a perplexing experience, providing many more questions than answers. Grueling and trying situations will often result in an endless lineup of questions with no answers.
However, through everything, we can rest assured that God will never leave or forsake us, His Word states. The depth of his faithfulness, grace and love really are mysteries.
In the song “Great Mystery,” Women Who Worship sing about God’s confounding and bewildering endless and unconditional love for us. Why does He love and care for us so much? Additionally, is there really any limit to His love? These are questions to which we may never ever learn the answer.
In the first verse of the beautiful song, the lyrics state that God loved all so much that he refused to let us remain in our sin and shame-covered state. His heart and love are so great that He passionately pursued us when we could have never come to Him.
As the second verse points out, God sent His one and only son to die for lost people. Jesus Christ, motivated by this mysterious and unending love, died on the cross, taking upon Himself the sin of all.
The song’s chorus perfectly describes this awe-inspiring love. It’s a love so deep that no one can fully comprehend it.
“How beautiful, how marvelous
Every day a new horizon
We see another piece
Unfolding in our hearts”
God’s love is wonderful, but at the same time baffling and wholly mystifying. He first pursued us and forgave and continues to forgive sins and transgressions. There is no one who has done or will do anything to deserve something so precious and perfect.
What a great mystery, indeed!
1 John 3:1 “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.”
A big name in Christian music sings about leaning on Christ during life’s many storms.
Life is an unexpected journey, often filled with hurt, heartache and struggles. No one knows what will happen from one minute to the next. However, there is One who is ever faithful, keeping His hand of protection and guidance upon those who love and follow Him.
In the song “Cornerstone,” TobyMac is joined by Zach Williams as they sing about life’s many changes and detours. No matter what happens, despite all the external circumstances that may bring temporary joy or pain, Jesus Christ is the one constant that can be counted on to remain.
In one of the song’s opening verses, the musicians sing about the faithfulness of Christ. He always remains close, especially during those cold and dark nights that are filled with uncertainty.
The song’s chorus beautifully reiterates how faithful Christ is to those who call upon His name. Everything else in our world may be changing, but He, as His Word states, will never leave or forsake us in our time of need.
“Seasons come, and seasons go
They take me high, then leave me low
But I’m standing on the only rock I know
You’re my cornerstone”
Additionally, the song mentions that despite even turning over their lives to Christ, people still struggle with sin and shame. No one is perfect, people make mistakes and need to ask for forgiveness. Once again, during these episodes of weakness, Christ is still the solid rock to stand on.
The song’s point, like Christ’s parable from Matthew chapter 7, is that Christ and His teaching are the solid, firm foundation. Building a foundation on anything else is foolishness. All other ground is nothing more than sinking sand, which will be washed away during life’s many storms.
Christ is the cornerstone!
Psalm 118:22 “The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.”
