Behold: verb – to see or observe (a thing or person, especially a remarkable or impressive one).
This Sunday some youth and kids will be sharing special music with us. The song is called “Behold Him” and we will be adding it to our repertoire at Grace.
The first verse of the song takes its cues from John chapter 1 and Philippians chapter 2. Jesus is eternal, all things were created through Him, and he left His throne in heaven to become a man. The second verse reminds us of the 4 gospels. Jesus ate with sinners, he gave sight to the blind, healed the lame, and pursued the lost. He was willing to go to the cross, taking the death of a criminal, so that he could pay for our sin with His blood. He rose to life, conquering death in the process.
What is our response to Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, the sacrificial lamb, the beginning and the end, our risen Savior? Our response is to behold Him, for He is remarkable and impressive! We desire to see Him, and to wonder at His glory and holiness! I’ve been using this song in my private worship for a few months and I’m excited for it to be part of our song repertoire at Grace. May this song be a beautiful addition to your private worship and to our corporate worship on Sunday mornings. May this song remind us who Jesus is, what he has done, and may it help us to be still and behold Him.
You can preview the song here.
See you Sunday!
