Behold (feat. Anne Wilson)

As we delve into the lyrics of "Behold" by Phil Wickham, we are invited to reflect on the profound mystery of the incarnation, the divine love of the Father, and the triumphant resurrection of Christ. The song echoes the sentiments found in John 1:14, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." The lyrics, "Behold, the King has come, Divinity incarnate, Creator of the world, Breathing our air," beautifully encapsulate this verse, reminding us of the awe-inspiring truth that God chose to become one of us, to breathe our air, and to share in our human experience.

The song also resonates with the message of John 8:12, where Jesus declares, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." The lyrics, "Behold what light has come, And the dark cannot contain it, The Savior of the world, Is finally here," echo this promise, reminding us that in Christ, we find the light that overcomes all darkness.

The song further draws us into the mystery of God's love as expressed in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." The lyrics, "Behold, the Father's love, Beyond all comprehension, He gave His only Son, To die in our place," invite us to marvel at the depth of God's love for us, a love so profound that He would give His only Son for our salvation.

Finally, the song celebrates the triumphant resurrection of Christ, as described in Matthew 28:6, "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." The lyrics, "Go and see that empty tomb, He’s not there, for He is risen," invite us to share in the joy and hope of the resurrection, reminding us that in Christ, we too are promised new life.

As we reflect on these powerful lyrics and the corresponding Bible verses, we are invited to ponder the profound mystery of God's love for us, the awe-inspiring truth of the incarnation, and the triumphant hope of the resurrection. We are reminded that in Christ, we find light, love, and life. 

So, let's end with a thought-provoking question: How does the reality of God becoming man, dying for our sins, and rising from the dead influence your daily life? How can you live in a way that reflects the light, love, and life found in Christ?
