Lyrics
No other foundation can be laid, no other Name by which I am saved.
No other foundation can be laid, no other Name by which I am saved.
Jesus, of Nazareth.
Great is the mystery, the fullness of Deity, dwelling in Your body.
Great is the mystery, the fullness of Deity, dwelling in Your body.
And I have seen the consummation of all perfection, and it's You, it's You Jesus.
Jesus, You are beautiful, wonderful, beautiful.
Jesus, You are beautiful, wonderful, beautiful.
Through You all things were made, You hold all things together.
Through You all things were made, You hold all things together.
Beautiful Mystery, You wrapped Yourself in a garment of flesh for me.
Beautiful Mystery.
Jesus, You are beautiful, wonderful, beautiful.
Great is the mystery, the fullness of Deity, dwelling in Your body.
Jesus, may we be forever thankful, and live lives in response to the love and grace that cost You everything. That which You willingly paid out of love for us.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Beautiful Mystery” centers on the identity and saving work of Jesus. Its opening joins the image of an unshakable foundation with the confession that salvation is found in no other name. From there, the lyric contemplates Christ as fully divine and truly embodied, describing the mystery of deity dwelling in a human body. Repeated praise of Jesus as beautiful and wonderful gives the theological language the character of worship rather than abstract explanation.
The song also draws attention to Christ’s place in creation: all things are made through him and held together by him. The image of being wrapped in flesh expresses the incarnation, while the final prayer responds with gratitude for sacrificial love and grace. These themes closely echo several New Testament passages and remain focused on Jesus from beginning to end. The result is a worship song that brings together confession, wonder, thanksgiving, and a call for life to answer divine love with faithful gratitude.
