mystery over the waters Lyrics

I was a young man

When I saw him coming

I was a young man

When he sat down

Just a young man

Looking at the river of fire

Strange things can happen

When you're young

Waves sent me running

Into the wilderness

When I was thirty years old,

Living away from home.

I was thirty years old,

And I went to the river

I sat by the river, and I saw God

Strange things can happen

When you're young

He was thirty years old

When his cousin heard the thunder

They went down to the river

And others heard it, too

The sky opened up

And the river turned to fire

Strange things can happen

When you're young

He was thirty years old

When the devil attacked him

He was in the wilderness,

'Cause the Spirit brought him there.

If the Spirit was with him,

Why did the devil attack him?

But he was filled with the Spirit,

So he didn't even care.

I was out on the lake

When he came to me

In the middle of the night,

It was dark and cold.

There was chaos all around,

And then I saw the Mystery

Brooding and fighting in the storm.

The Mystery came down

And hovered o'er the waters

Darkness was all over

The face of the deep

I screamed at the Mystery

And then the Spirit called me

To walk though I couldn't even see.
