Walking In A Mystery
by Michael Doyle

The preacher, in his way of reaching
Has spent his time preaching
The fullness of God's holy word
Bounces in letters that have become blurred

In all of God's glorious mystery
We've heard history and prophecy
Joined together as God's legacy
The real-life loved through you and me

The same as it was yesterday
Today still has time for us in every way
Life is loved with goodness and control
We follow the scriptures good for our souls

Between these pillars, I know peace and love
As we believers stand worshipping God above
All that happens is for God's good plan
We build our faith that we might understand

This book of red print is one of Jesus's revelation
As John transcribed these words of holy explanation
Letter by letter, John's letters spoke the truth
All of this is to be heard and learned from our youth

Prayer is the focal point of our attention
It reconnects us with the best of the right intention
Satan's lies are whispered to malign and distract
Shaken faith impacts how each of us will act

There are seven stars held in the holy hand
Of the one who holds the seven lampstands
All of this knowing that life knows what we do
He keeps His love attentively on me and you

Though hardships will come, surely they will go
AS the living waters continually flow
The good works are known and have grown
As we do and live the blessings shown

We, ourselves, must read the Bible to self-feed
This is the direction of truth that God leads
Worship is a thing of steady priority
Following God's call and knowing His authority

We must not be apathetic or grow cold
Our love for God and His people must not grow old
This is the importance of our relationship
That our hearts are set for rightful worship

The enemy of faith is indifference
We must keep the love and reverence
That keeps God and Jesus foremost on our minds
Keeping the love of God and Jesus as sublime

Stopping to think as we deeply feel
All the godly things we know to be real
Repeating and reprioritizing as we turn
Back to the faithfulness from which we learn

Getting back to where we once were
However much our lives made into a blur
It's not Jesus who moved from the driver's seat
It is you and me who have chosen to retreat

It's our unruly and unholy habits of
Doing those things that take us from love
Instead, we must revere God and His Son
Letting their and not our wills be done
