In Her Mystery

[bnewman]

A hymn to Persephone.

lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: "In the Mystery" by Joel Houston

listen to this song

/ C - Am - / F - G - /

 

In Your name

There was hope of life in death

But the secret way is lost and all that's left

Is the story

 

Still I came

You're the answer that I need

There's still power in the pomegranate seed

To restore me

 

/ Dm FG Dm F / G - Am F /

 

I hear the secret of the sprouting grain

What's buried in the ground will rise again

Fill for me the cup of Your love

And I will come running

 

/ C - G - / Am C G - / C ... /

 

O Persephone, You set me free

I am alive in the mystery

Show the opened way — all life is change

I'll sing Your praise for the life in me

 

In Your hands

Nothing ever stays the same

Everything that lives must die, and death is change

And returning

 

In Your eyes

There is mercy without end

And the promise that the wheel comes round again

And I'm learning

 

I hear the song of every seed that falls

What's offered up in joy isn't dead at all

Fill for me the cup of Your love

And I will come running

 

O Persephone, You set me free...

 

O Persephone, You set me free...
