pondering mystery with sara groves

One of my favorite artists has her new album out. And one of my favorite people gifted me with it (mwah, Tracy!)  I've been listening as I sort through 6 peoples' laundry, and I can say, she's done it again.  If you typically like stuff I like I bet you'll like it. :)

One of my favorites so far... at least this is the first to rise to the surface. New albums have a way of speaking to me one song at a time.

Mystery
(unofficial lyrics, from my ear only)

I see my faith before me, it's always there before me
and I can no more own it than I can own the road that I am on
I don't know where it leads me, I don't know where it leads me
peace and resurrection, suffering and dejection - I don't know
and my body's tired from tryin to bring you here
and my brow is furled tryin to see things clear
so I'll turn my back to the black and fall....
and wait for the mystery to rise up and meet me.

there are so many takers as there are hearts to take it
there are so many fakers, I myself have faked it - I should know
sometimes this has left me groping in the darkness,
hoping in the darkness I will run into you again

my body's tired from tryin to bring you here
and my brow is furled tryin to see things clear
so I'll turn my back to the black and fall...
and wait for the mystery to rise up and meet me, oh...

and my body's tired from tryin to bring you here
and my brow is furled tryin to see this clear
so I'll turn my back to the black and fall...
pray for the Mystery to rise up and meet me
oh I'll wait for Your Mystery to rise up and lead me home
