This Mystery --by Nicole Nordeman

I love this song becuase it reminds me in the midst of all that lies before me in my everyday routine, that He is my breath, my reason and my peace

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 slow down
It won't slow down

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

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

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 feel of this mystery
