Nashville, TN (November 1, 2019)
Christian music songwriter, artist and worship leader, Paul Baloche, has released a powerful new single titled “Behold Him” on Integrity Music.

Watch the new lyric video for “Behold Him” here:

“Behold Him” 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
Jesus
Alpha and Omega
Our God, the Risen Savior
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

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy

To receive all praise”I’m so happy to release ‘Behold Him,'” shares Baloche. “I’ve been leading it for the past few months now, everywhere from small worship gatherings to the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in Scotland with a 500-voice choir and orchestra! Every time I worship with it, everyone starts to sing it immediately like they’ve known the song for years. In a day and age when busyness and distractions rule our lives, it’s essential to ‘Be still and behold Him’…to ponder and wonder with child-like anticipation. Psalm 46:10 says, ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ I struggle with being in control, trying to force things to go the way that I think they should. There is much freedom in surrendering control – being still – and beholding God, acknowledging that He alone is God. He alone is worthy.”

Baloche hopes that “Behold Him,” which he co-wrote with Mitch Wong (Lincoln Brewster, Chris McClarney) will inspire hearts to worship and praise Jesus as well as give a sense of awe and wonder to the listener.

It’s been 20 years since the release of his song “Open The Eyes of My Heart,” and Baloche feels the same now writing “Behold Him” as he did then. “It feels like the same heart cry—a desire to really see The Lord—to behold Him. I don’t want to miss what God is doing in my life and in this generation. I want to see Him, hear Him, and follow Him.”

He concludes, “It’s important to take our eyes off of ourselves and put them on Christ. We spend so much time preoccupied with every detail of our lives – trying to control everything. The message of this song comes from scripture, ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ HE is God. We’re not.”

Throughout the rest of 2019 and into the new year, Baloche is preparing for his upcoming album, also titled Behold Him, slated to release February 7, 2020.
