Pondering the Mystery

Verse 1 I am pondering the mystery Of a love I cannot name That the God of all would give Himself To rescue those who came Not as loyal sons and daughters Not as pure and undefiled But enemies and wounded rebels Yet He drew us like a child Pre-Chorus What kind of King loves like this What kind of throne is grace What kind of victory bleeds for me And still calls me embraced Chorus Oh the mystery Oh the wonder Of the love that took my place How the reign of Jesus holds me How His mercy fills this space I am captive to His kindness I am undone by who He is Oh the mystery Oh the glory Of a love like this Verse 2 He forgives the ones who pierce Him He has mercy on His foes He defeats the curse that held us By the blood that freely flowed And the sickness of His people And the evil of this land Meet the healing of the Savior In the breaking of His hands Pre-Chorus What kind of God would overcome By laying down His breath What kind of life comes into bloom By walking straight through death Chorus Oh the mystery Oh the wonder Of the love that took my place How the reign of Jesus holds me How His mercy fills this space I am captive to His kindness I am undone by who He is Oh the mystery Oh the glory Of a love like this Bridge Body broken Blood outpoured Bread of heaven Living Word Gift so free It costs me all And still His grace is worth it all Final Chorus Oh the mystery Oh the wonder That He would make His enemies His own How the reign of Jesus keeps me How His love has brought me home I am held within a kingdom That I never could deserve Oh the mystery Oh the glory Of the God who serves
