Passion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
Bread of heaven, broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus the mystery

Christ has died and
Christ is risen

And Christ will come again
Christ has died and
Christ is risen,
And Christ will come again

Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity (he's the bread)
Bread of heaven, broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus the mystery (just proclaim this)

Christ has died and
Christ is risen
And Christ will come again (proclaim)
Christ has died and
Christ is risen,
And Christ will come again

This is worth celebrating
This is worth proclaming
So we're gonna celebrate this
And we're gonna sing it
More than your mouth your whole heart
Celebrate

Let's celebrate his death and rising
Lift your eyes, proclaim his coming
Celebrate his death and rising
Lift you eyes, lift your eyes

Celebrate his death and rising
Lift your eyes, proclaim his coming
Celebrate his death and rising
Lift you eyes, lift your eyes

Christ has died and
Christ is risen
And Christ will come again
Christ has died and
Christ is risen,
And Christ will come again

Christ has died and
Christ is risen
And Christ will come again (proclaim)
Christ has died and

Christ is risen,
And Christ will come again

Overall Meaning

The song "Mystery" by Passion is a worshipful acknowledgment that though Christ's death, resurrection, and second coming are mysterious concepts, they provide believers with a clear path to salvation and a deep sense of peace. The lyricist praises Jesus Christ as his "sanity" and "clarity" because He provides comfort and unwavering truth in a world of confusion and chaos. The references to bread and the cup of salvation connect to the imagery of Christ's body broken and blood spilled for the forgiveness of believers' sins. In short, the song celebrates the mystery of Christ's power and presence as a unifying and saving force in the world.

The opening lyrics of "Mystery" reference Jesus Christ as the principle of sanity and clarity. Throughout the song, Passion points to hope and meaning in the concept of Jesus's most defining mysteries death, resurrection, and coming again. These grand theological concepts are difficult to understand fully, but certainly, they are worth celebrating and proclaiming in faith. The song also emphasizes the eternal relevance of Jesus the mystery and His divine majesty as central to the Christian faith.
