This Mystery
Nichole Nordeman
Arranged by Austin Cho '04

Verse 1
Say goodnight to the light of the setting sun...
One more day, one more way
Of keeping track of all I've done.
I run this race, keep this pace, I'm doing fine
And I won't stop until each box
Gets checked a second time.
And life becomes the 'round and 'round
Revolving door that won't slown
It won't slow down

Chorus
Do you wish, do you want us to breathe again?
Say goodbye to the lines that we've colored in brown and gray
From day to day?
Do you cry, do you hope for all things made new?
Try and try to invoke us to live in you?
That we might be the hands and feet of this mystery.

Verse 2
This routine is nice and clean from dawn to dusk
I rise and rest, I do my best
When will it ever be enough?
And life becomes the bigger noise
Drowning out Your little voice
Your little voice, Jesus.

Chorus

Bridge
We take stock, and we punch the clock
And we make sure all those zeros have balanced in the end
