Nichole Nordeman - This Mystery lyrics

rate me

Say goodnight to the light of the setting sun<br />

One more day, one more way<br />

Of keeping track of all I've done<br />

<br />

I run this race, keep this pace<br />

I'm doing fine<br />

And I won't stop until each box<br />

Gets checked a second time<br />

<br />

And life becomes the round and round<br />

Revolving door that won't slow down<br />

It won't slow down<br />

<br />

Do You wish, do You want us to breathe again?<br />

Say goodbye to the lines that we've coloured in<br />

Brown and grey from day to day<br />

Do You cry, do You hope for all things made new?<br />

Try and try to invoke us to live in You<br />

That we might be the hands and feet of this mystery<br />

<br />

This routine is nice and clean from dawn to dusk<br />

I rise and rest, I do my best<br />

When will it ever be enough?<br />

<br />

And life becomes the bigger noise<br />

Drowning out Your little voice<br />

Your little voice, Jesus<br />

<br />

Do You wish, do You want us to breathe again?<br />

Say goodbye to the lines that we've coloured in<br />

Brown and grey from day to day<br />

Do You cry, do You hope for all things made new?<br />

Try and try to invoke us to live in You<br />

That we might be the hands and feet of this mystery<br />

<br />

We take stock, and we punch the clock<br />

And we make sure all those zeros have balanced in the end<br />

<br />

Do You wish, do You want us to breathe again?<br />

Say goodbye to the lines that we've coloured in<br />

Brown and grey from day to day<br />

Do You cry, do You hope for all things made new?<br />

Try and try to invoke us to live in You<br />

That we might be the hands and feet of this mystery
