lyrics
VERSE 1
Who can comprehend
Your holy ways O Lord
Your glorious power without end
From which the stars were born
How could we ever understand
The moving of Your hand?
How could we ever come to grasp
The One who never began?
CHORUS
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are
Though we only see in part
You’ve completely won our hearts
Oh, what a glorious mystery You are
VERSE 2
Who can comprehend
Your gracious mercy Lord
Great loving kindness that would send
A Savior to be born?
Why would you, Jesus, die for us
Who cursed Your perfect name?
Why would You come to reconcile
Those who caused Your shame?

Adapting the translated Scriptures to lyrics and music poses extraordinary challenges: irregular scansion, wide emotional dynamics, and wooden diction are just a few. The challenges are so great, in fact, that most self-aware musicians can’t muster the necessary courage to even dare an attempt. Yet Psallos’s “Romans” seems to turn the weaknesses of adaptation into its strengths—an ever-adapting adaptation that manages to both communicate and illuminate Paul’s epistle.
