Lyrics
He who was before there was light
Walked across the pages of time
He who made every living thing
Behold Him
He who heard humanity's cry
Left His throne to wake as a child
He became like the least of us
Behold Him
Jesus Son of God Messiah
The Lamb, the roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him
He who dined with sinners and saints
Healed the blind, the lost and the lame
Even now He is in our midst
Behold Him
He who chose a criminal's end
Paid with blood to settle our debt
Buried death as He rose to life
Behold Him
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the roaring Lion
Oh, be still and behold Him
Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God, the risen Savior
Oh, be still and behold Him
Behold Him
Oh, behold Him
Behold Him
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord, God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the roaring Lion
Oh, be still and behold Him
Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God, the risen Savior
Oh, be still and behold Him
Oh, come behold Him
Oh, come behold Him
And behold Him
Behold Him

Meaning & Inspiration
Behold Him surveys the identity and work of Jesus from creation to resurrection. The verses present the eternal Son as present before light, active in making life, and willing to enter human history as a child. They then recall his welcome of sinners, healing ministry, sacrificial death, and victory over the grave. Each scene returns to the same response: stillness, attention, and adoration before Christ.
The titles Son of God, Messiah, Lamb, Lion, Alpha and Omega, and risen Savior gather several biblical portraits into one confession. Colossians 1:15-20 closely supports the movement from creation through reconciliation, while Revelation 5:11-13 reflects the repeated declaration that the Lamb is worthy to receive praise. The holy and worthy refrain broadens the song from narrative reflection into worship. By joining humility, atonement, resurrection, and divine majesty, the lyric presents beholding Jesus as a response to who he is and what he has accomplished.
