Mystery

A really old song I wrote. Like… five years ago old.

Pages and pages
Full of different words
All crossed through, erased, and torn out

I’ve been fighting words
For months and months on end
Trying to figure this song out

But maybe those weren’t words that were good enough
And maybe I had started in the wrong place
Maybe I started with me in my mind
Instead of You and Your amazing grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
And You’ve saved me from the wrath my sins had brought and set me free
Why You chose me is a mystery to me
Why You chose me is a mystery to me

My morning begins
I always try to spend
The first few minutes in Your words

But as the day goes on
The love I read about
Vanishes from my actions and words

Why do You love a hypocrite
Why do You save a flock of run-away sheep
Why did You give You son’s life to us
Why did You save me

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
And You’ve saved me from the wrath my sins had brought and set me free
Why You chose me is a mystery to me
Why You chose me is a mystery to me

But his death to give me life
Was destiny
Fulfilled prophecy
Perfect sovereignty

But why he did it to save sinners is
Confusing me
It’s un-clarity
It’s a mystery

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
And You’ve saved me from the wrath my sins had brought and set me free
Why You chose me is a mystery to me
Why You chose me is a mystery to me

God one day we will
See You face to face
We will see You reign above

But I don’t think I
Could ever understand
This amazing mystery of Your love

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see
And You’ve saved me from the wrath my sins had brought and set me free
Why You chose me is a mystery to me
Why You chose me is a mystery to me

And You’ve given me a chance to show the world Your majesty,
Why You chose me is a mystery…
