Description
Being in a relationship with God is a mysterious adventure - learning to listen for His voice, starting to sense him communicating intimately through scripture, beginning to see him at work in every part of life.

I’ve turned it over in my head and something is here that wasn’t here before It’s something that I cannot understand but I cannot ignore It’s like the words upon this page are all rearranged Or maybe something in my frozen heart has changed Because the words that used to bring me shame They somehow just don’t seem the same Where sorrow stood I think I’m finding grace You are a mystery to me You’re so far beyond what I can see You are a mystery to me Cause just when I think I’ve seen just about everything You show me a new glimpse of your glory Oh Lord, is this how you intended to show me your grace To let me have my way and be a prodigal son? Because it had to break your heart to see me wander away Because it breaks my heart to think how I did you wrong Cause the wrong I did, you used for good You changed my guilt into gratitude And now I’m marveling at the beauty of your grace I can only say that You are a mystery to me You’re so far beyond what I can see You are a mystery to me Cause just when I think I’ve seen just about everything You show me I don’t know the whole story And I cannot search you out, I cannot take it in You set aside your crown to save me from my sin You broke the gates of hell, my death and shame as well When you took them on yourself Your love is a mystery to me It’s so far beyond what I can see Yes you are a mystery to me Cause just when I think I’ve seen just about everything You show me I don’t know the whole story Yeah I was riddled with doubt, but now I believe I was a prisoner of sin, but I’ve been set free My spirit was blind, but I can see I can see even more, even more of your mystery
