Let’s listen to a “whisper of a song”—specifically one about the coming of Jesus to earth. A Christmas song.
“Whisper of a song” is the phrase I use to describe the recorded demos of my songs. It feels more accurate than saying “a glimpse of a song”—comparing the audio to visuals. It’s not the final version or quality of the finished project, just a whisper of what’s to come.
If the incarnation is true (and I believe it is)—if Creator-God became a person to become Savior-God of the world (which I believe He did), and if He was conceived, born, grew into adulthood, died, and ascended back to heaven as Lord of lords (and I believe it all)—then the telling of that story is the greatest expression of power mixed with humility, of awesomeness paired with tenderness.
This song attempts to capture that mixture.

Awesome Most Delicate Lord | Lyrics
O, most awesome, most powerful Lord
In your tender, most delicate form
You are worshipped; you are adored
Most awesome, most delicate Lord
I never saw such humility
As the night of the first nativity
When Son of God became the son of man
A super-natural earth-bound paradox
I never saw such humbleness
As God’s spirit wrapped up in human flesh
Like all the power of the universe
Confined to a tissue box
I’ve never seen anything quite like that before
Have you ever seen anything like that before
The world’s never seen anything quite like that before
And they’re never gonna see it again
It was an awesome most powerful Lord
In his tender, most delicate form
O, most awesome, most powerful Lord
In your tender, most delicate form
You are worshipped; you are adored
Most awesome, most delicate Lord
Have you ever read in our history
All the twists and turns and mysteries
How the Son of God became the Son of man
So we could become the sons of God
Have you heard the version of the story
How the virgin in the story
Just believed then conceived
And this daughter became the Mother of God
I’ve never seen anything quite like that before
Have you ever seen anything like that before
The world’s never seen anything quite like that before
And they’re never gonna see it again
It was an awesome most powerful Lord
In his tender, most delicate form
Awesome and glorious
Mighty victorious
Marvelous Wonderful Powerful Lord
In His tender most delicate form
