A solitary picture
Hanging on my wall
The same familiar scenery
We all have seen before
And I can't help but wonder
Staring at Your face
Just what You must have been like
As You visited this place
God come to earth as man
To save us all

But I
I'm longing for the day
When my mysteries of you will be erased
But until then
I must go on living (until then)
this world will keep on spinning
Until then I'll live by faith

CHORUS
Oh the mystery of grace (Will someday be erased)
When I see you face to face (In heaven some sweet day)

Now I've got all your letters
I read them every day
I'm finding more and more
I hang on to every word you say
I've often called you Friend
And I can't forget

That You, You are making me a place
Far beyond this present maddness that I face
But until then
I must go on living (until then)
This world will keep on spinning
I'll keep hanging from day to day
Until then I'll live by faith

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)
