Sweet Mystery

You pick the weak to lead the strong
You fill our hearts with unending song
You pick the unnoticed to bring you fame
You never leave someone the same

You love the undeserving
You have hope in the hopeless
You restore the weak
And you love the meek

You make our hearts long for you
And forgive us of our every wrong
You chose to wash it all away
Never remembering

You chose to be silent and lay down your life
When you could have let us suffer for our sin
But your love is strong and true
Like we never knew

You hear us when we pray
And sing over us when we lay
Your love is undeniable
And you are interested in every detail of our lives

Promising to return with power and fury
But dwelling among us, showing us your glory
And giving us hope and freedom found only in your name
We wait for the day that we’ll be forever changed

You will forever be a sweet mystery
Never failing to amaze us
And making us see, something from a new point of view
Changing our hearts and making us like you.
