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
