Startling Mystery

Yeah
Sovereign Lord, You truly deserve the prime praise
In creation, we can see Your design trace
But since the Fall, this world is such an unkind place
Where crime pays, seekin' the devil’s wine taste
In my case, I was just on a blind chase
A mind waste, trapped in my asinine ways
But Christ braced Himself, entered into time, space
The Vine breaks so the branches could find grace
When Light’s rays hit the soul, the paradigm shakes
Sublime race, runnin' at predefined pace
Now me and Jesus are closer than intertwined lace
And by faith, we behold His divine face
So as we’re liftin' up our praise to You, receive it, Lord
The object of our affection, whom we adore
Fallen in our misery, You darted into history
The pardon of iniquity, startlin' the mystery
The oceans, the plains, mountains, the rain
The universe proclaims the glory of Your Name
And what am I that You called me to Your side?
And took this heart of stone and broke it open wide
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When I think about what Your Son did for me
Oh, what a startlin' mystery
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Indescribable is what your love is to me
Oh, oh, startlin' mystery
Yeah
Sovereign Lord, who can truly understand Your depths?
In you, there’s life life, You’re the source of every man’s breath
Your mysteries, the sharpest of minds can’t guess
They stand perplexed, can’t fathom what you plan next
In the garden, we failed Your command’s test
We transgressed, now our world is a grand mess
Lord, You’re perfect, so why should You demand less?
Man’s best is only a sinking sand quest
But through Christ, watch God’s savin' hand flex
Redeemed the people, north, south, east, and west
Glorious robes, in the Promised Land, dressed
We stand blessed, all because of the Lamb’s death
So as we’re liftin' up our praise to You, receive it, Lord
The object of our affection, whom we adore
Fallen in our misery, You darted into history
The pardon of iniquity, startling the mystery
The oceans, the plains, the mountains, the rain
The universe proclaims the glory of Your Name
And what am I that You called me to Your side?
And took this heart of stone and broke it open wide
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When I think about what Your Son did for me
Oh, what a startlin' mystery
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Indescribable is what your love is to me
Oh, oh, startlin' mystery
