The Mystery
Oh, mystery so sweet, divine
That called me out and made me thine
Before the world was even formed
You chose my heart to be transformed
To one that rests upon thy grace
And seeks to see thy glorious face
Your wisdom Lord shines forth each day
Your spirit drawing me to pray
That there amid my sorrow, pain
Your joy within my heart doth reign
While Angels sing their song of praise
Because from death your Son did raise
They do not know such Grace Profound
Salvation brings, when lost are found
The wrath that justly had been mine
Thou did upon thy Son assign
The depth of pain He must have known
As wrath for sin poured from Thy Throne
The magnitude of riches thine
Poured forth to me, you made them mine
Unworthy though I am to gain
From all the agony and pain
That Jesus bore for me that day
Yet, here I am you bid me stay
How can I Lord, ever complain
About the sunshine or the rain
Must not my heart forever sing
A song of praise to You my King
The mystery the world must see
Was there proclaimed on Calvary
Even the demons must proclaim
That Jesus is the only name
Who can fulfill my heart’s desire
So willingly I face the rapid fire
Of Satan’s arrows aimed at me
Because You’ve won the victory
I will not bow beneath the weight
Of earthly cares though they are great
My eyes transfixed on You, my Lord
Bound heart in heart with one Accord
The mystery the world might see
My joy in Thee shall ever be.
In Darkest Night or bright Sunshine
My Faith Held Tight, For I am Thine
