VOUS Worship - Mystery (Hidden Things) Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
Oh the wisdom of the Father's heart
Oh the depths of Your unfailing love
Oh the comfort in my Savior's arms
That I would run
To where You called me
Chorus
And I know the future is still unseen
The depths of Your wisdom
No mind conceived
But I find my footing in mystery
The hidden things what's yet to be
Revealed in me
Verse 2
Oh the beauty of the Father's word
Oh the destiny in Him confirmed
Oh the strength
Within my Savior's hands
That I would walk
In what You've promised

Mystery Hidden Things (Lyric Video) — VOUS Worship
Meaning & Inspiration
VOUS Worship's "Mystery (Hidden Things)," released on July 22, 2021, as part of their "So God Came To Us - EP," is a profound reflection on the nature of divine wisdom, unwavering love, and the human experience of navigating an unknown future with faith. This song delves into the paradox of finding stability and purpose not despite, but *within* the mysteries of God, offering a comforting assurance that even in life’s unrevealed aspects, there is a steadfast foundation. It speaks directly to the soul yearning for direction while acknowledging the limits of human understanding, guiding listeners to rest in the character of a trustworthy Father.
The song immediately establishes a posture of reverence, opening with an acknowledgment of the "wisdom of the Father's heart" and the "depths of Your unfailing love." This sets the stage for a spiritual journey that begins with appreciating God’s inherent goodness and boundless affection. The lyrics evoke the comfort found "in my Savior's arms," painting a picture of secure refuge. This foundational trust inspires an active response: the call to "run to where You called me." This isn't a passive waiting, but an energetic, faith-driven movement towards God's purpose, knowing that His wisdom is infinite and His love, as celebrated in Psalm 136, endures forever. The comfort offered by the Savior, akin to the solace described in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, empowers believers to step out in obedience, even when the path ahead is not fully illuminated.
The central message unfolds powerfully in the chorus, directly confronting the reality of an "unseen future" and "depths of Your wisdom no mind conceived." Here, the song beautifully articulates the human condition of not knowing what tomorrow holds, while simultaneously pointing to the incomprehensible wisdom of God, a truth echoed in Romans 11:33 where Paul exclaims about the unsearchable judgments and untraceable ways of the Lord. Instead of being paralyzed by this uncertainty, the song declares, "I find my footing in mystery, the hidden things what's yet to be revealed in me." This is a profound statement of faith: that true stability comes from embracing the unknown *with* God, rather than demanding full disclosure. Deuteronomy 29:29 reminds us that "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever." VOUS Worship translates this into a personal journey, suggesting that God reveals Himself and His plans progressively, often through the very process of trusting Him in the hidden things, shaping our character and understanding from within.
Building upon this theme, the second verse shifts focus to the "beauty of the Father's word" and the "destiny in Him confirmed." This highlights the importance of Scripture as a lamp for our feet and a light for our path (Psalm 119:105), providing guidance and certainty even amidst life’s ambiguities. The acknowledgment of a confirmed destiny speaks to the assurance that God has a specific plan and purpose for each individual, as articulated in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." The "strength within my Savior's hands" reinforces the divine empowerment available for this journey, a strength that enables believers to do all things through Christ who strengthens them (Philippians 4:13). This strength emboldens the song’s final active response: "that I would walk in what You've promised." It’s an invitation to live out God’s promises not just in belief, but in tangible action, moving forward with courage and conviction, even when the full scope of those promises is still unfolding.
"Mystery (Hidden Things)" ultimately serves as an anthem for radical trust. It encourages us to lean not on our own understanding, but to acknowledge God in all our ways, allowing Him to make our paths straight, as Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs. The song’s message resonates deeply with anyone grappling with life’s uncertainties, offering a powerful reminder that God's character — His wisdom, love, and strength — provides a more secure foundation than any fully mapped-out future could. It’s an invitation to engage with faith not as an escape from the unknown, but as the very means by which we thrive within it, confident that the hidden things God is revealing are ultimately for our good and His glory.
