Lyrics
MYSTERIES
There are things upon the earth
Much too wonderful for me
Like a serpent in the grass
Or a ship out on the sea
Or how an eagle soars
In the heavens up above
Or how a man and maiden grow
In the mystery of love
And I guess that there are many things
That I won?t understand
Until I grow to know your love much more
Sometimes the way you lead
Is a mystery to me
I just can?t see the good
In the things you choose for me
Your ways are not my ways
And your thoughts are not like mine
They?re higher than the sky
And they?re deeper than the sea
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
That whoever will believe in Him
Will never have to die
I embraced with all my heart
This great chance to be redeemed
Then I learned that I?d not chosen Him
But he had chosen me
