Behold The Man
Bob Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stand amazed, Lord
At all Youve done
Forsaking royalty
Became a son
To bring the Father's redeeming hand
And heal our souls as we behold the man
Behold the man
Great God incarnate
Behold the man
Sacrifice lamb
Warrior omnipotent
King of the ages
Behold the man
The great I Am
We lift our eyes, Lord, to meet Your gaze
Such comfort there our fears erase
We reach to take from Your wounded hand
The keys of victory
And we behold the man
Behold the man
Great God incarnate
Behold the man
Sacrifice lamb
Warrior omnipotent
King of the ages
Behold the man
The great I Am
Behold the man
Great God incarnate
Behold the man
Sacrifice lamb
Warrior omnipotent
King of the ages

Behold the man
The great I Am

Overall Meaning

In Bob Fitts's song Behold The Man, the lyrics are a tribute to the greatness of Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God. The song begins with the singer expressing amazement at all that Jesus has done, including forsaking his royalty to become a son and bring the redeeming hand of God to humanity. The singer highlights Jesus as the "great God incarnate," the "warrior omnipotent," the "king of the ages," and "the great I Am."


The second part of the song is an acknowledgment of the comfort and the keys of victory that come from Jesus. The singer lifts their eyes to meet Jesus's gaze, and in doing so, finds their fears erased. They reach to take the keys of victory from Jesus's wounded hand as they behold him. The repetitive and emphatic declaration to "Behold the man" is an exhortation to acknowledge and revere Jesus as he is.


The song is a call to contemplate Jesus Christ's greatness, sacrifice, and facilitate the believer's personal reflection and worship. The lyrics describe Jesus's divinity, his saving grace, and humanity's need for him.
